| San Diego BOCA FC vs Sacramento Gold in last week's NPSL Game |
Earlier this season in April, the teams met in an away game at SD Flash’s field and the match a tense, dead-even battle with the score 1-1 until overtime. Just moments before the final whistle, SD Flash scored and earned a 2-1 victory to only further stoke the flames of rivalry between these two teams. Boca is coming into the match with a two-game unbeaten streak with a tie this past weekend against last years 2010 NPSL Champion Sacramento with a 2-2 draw on the road. SD Flash comes to the match with an unbeaten field record and an official rank of 7-2-0.
The San Diego Derby is a special event for another reason, however, as Boca FC will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County. The organization has been supporting the youths of San Diego for half a century, and will be encouraging fans to donate and volunteer to their incredible and extremely important cause.
The event will also host multiple gourmet food trucks, including the Mangia Mangia Mobile, Panda Express, India On Wheels and Super Q BBQ. The battle between Boca and Flash is shaping up to be the Premier San Diego Soccer Match of 2011.
Tickets can still be purchased for only $5 at the Boca Soccer Store, located at 1919 San Diego avenue, San Diego, CA, just south of Old Town. For more information on the game, fans can e-mail San Diego Boca FC’s General Manager at travis@sdboca.com or call 619-756-7528.
