The game that unfolded at Torero Stadium on Friday night defied nearly all expectations of the USD men’s soccer team. The Toreros, who came into the game after defeating Gonzaga and holding No. 7 Portland to a tie on the road, lost 2-0 to the San Diego State Aztecs in a match dominated by a physical style of play which seemed unfamiliar to the Toreros. The game featured rapid momentum shifts, hard collisions, a penalty kick, and a shoving match between the cross-town rivals.
