Game 4: Lightning All-Stars 9, Falcons 5
The boys pulled out a great comeback victory, scoring six unanswered goals after falling behind 5-3.

Mateo scored again in the 5th minutes, but Falcons equalized again in the 12th minute. In the 15th minute Jonathan scored, and it looked like Lightning would take a lead into the half, but Falcons scored in the last minute.

Kudos to the defense and goalkeeper Dylan, as they kept the Falcons off the board for the final 15 minutes of the game.
