On an overcast evening in Tumwater, Wa., Oly Town FC stymied every Lane United attack for 92 minutes. Unfortunately for the home side, the Reds finally broke through on a set piece in the 93^rd minute when Spanish netminder Albert Escuin, who had joined the rest of the team in the box, slotted home the rebound from a Brian Torre free kick.
