It was a dominant performance by defending national champion UCLA. They controlled the game against Arizona soccer from the opening whistle. It just didn’t always show on the scoreboard through the first 45 minutes.
The problem for the Arizona Wildcats is that a soccer match isn’t just 45 minutes. The Bruins’ dominance finally showed on the scoreboard in the second half, ending with a 4-1 UCLA victory.
UCLA had a 9-1 advantage in shots at the end of the first half. The Bruins also led 5-0 in corner kicks. The problem for them was that the scoreboard read 1-1 after the Wildcats scored on the only shot they were able to get off in the first half.
