Detroit Ignition News Release
(Southfield, Mich., April 20, 2008) - A "Golden Goal" from Monterrey forward Byron Alvarez knocked the top-seeded Detroit Ignition out of the playoffs tonight in front of a sell-out crowd at Compuware Arena. La Raza moves on to the MISL Championship Series Final next weekend where they will face the Baltimore Blast.
The Ignition tied up the semifinal series with Monterrey with a 21-2 victory in Game 2 earlier tonight - the club's largest margin of victory this season. After a five minute intermission, the teams faced off in a sudden death "Golden Goal" mini-match series tiebreaker. Alvarez scored the game-winning shot with just under four minutes to play in the mini-game, sending the expansion team to the MISL Championship.
The MISL Championship Final kicks off at 7 p.m. (EST) Saturday from the U.S. Cellular Arena. The game will be broadcast live on Fox Soccer Channel.
The Detroit Ignition is a member club of the Major Indoor Soccer League, and begins the team's second season in November 2007 after advancing to the MISL Championship Finals during the 2006-07 season.
