Atletico Union and CISA played out a remarkable 4–4 draw in USL League Two on Wednesday, combining for eight goals in a result that neither side will look back on with complete satisfaction. Specific goal scorers and times were not confirmed in the official match record.
Eight goals across 90 minutes tells its own story. Both teams found the net four times each, producing the kind of scoreline rarely seen at any level of the American soccer pyramid. The draw suggests neither defense could contain the other for any sustained stretch, with the game refusing to settle into any comfortable rhythm for either side.
No cards were issued during the contest, which is notable given the volume of goals and the back-and-forth nature the scoreline implies. Officials kept the game flowing without needing to reach for a pocket.
A point apiece from a game with this many goals will leave both camps with mixed emotions. Atletico Union will feel the sting of conceding four at home, while CISA may rue not holding onto what must have been at least one lead during the match. Four goals on the road is a strong offensive output, but shipping the same number negates much of that work.
In a league where goal difference can separate teams come season's end, dropping points from positions of strength — as at least one side surely did here — could prove costly as the USL League Two campaign progresses.
