Patience pays off for Luke Haakenson as his late goal gives Creighton the win over crosstown rival UNO

The 2019 edition of the “Dodge Street Derby” had everything you’d expect to see if you were one of the more than 4,000 people sitting behind the ad-covered concrete barriers that surround the pitch at Morrison Stadium.

Before the whistles: cleanly played soccer.

After the whistles: headbutts, red cards, and players needing to be separated.

And at the end of another emotionally-charged 90 minutes between crosstown rivals Creighton and UNO, a 2-1 Bluejay victory courtesy of a tie-breaking goal by senior forward Luke Haakenson with 2:02 left in regulation to help CU bounce back from a 3-1 home loss to UC Irvine on Friday night.
