INDIO, Calif. -- An energized celebration occurred moments after Aiden Tucker made a sprawling save to cement Bayside FC’s quarterfinal shootout win in the Generation Adidas Cup qualifier.
Bayside players sprinted from midfield with their hands in the air, meeting Tucker near the goal. Fans blew air horns. Coach Kevin Bacher and his staff smiled ear to ear by the bench.
Eventually, the celebration made its way to the sideline. Bayside players posed for team pictures behind the bench. Then, the team convened in front of the big, black GA Cup Qualifier Bracket Board at the headquarters tent.
