Concafa SC vs. Hoosier Army score, highlights: Pat McAfee's team eliminated from TST 2024 in quarterfinals image

Pat McAfee's exciting side Concafa SC electrified crowds at the second iteration of The Soccer Tournament in Cary, NC this year, but they are headed home after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Indiana alumni side Hoosier Army in the quarterfinals.

With McAfee himself injured after sustaining a hip flexor injury in a previous match, Concafa started well and controlled play through the first half, but fell apart after halftime as the legs began to tire.

Hoosier Army, who entered the match undefeated in the tournament through five games, took command of the match after halftime and were incredibly unlucky not to score earlier, pummeling Thomas Sanner's goal and hitting the post at least three times.

With the match scoreless through the 40 minutes of regulation, it entered Target Score Time level, meaning the next goal would see a team advance. Hoosier Army continued barnstorming up front, and finally broke through on a goal by Austin Panchot just a few minutes into sudden death.

8th min TST: GOAL! HOOSIER ARMY! Finally, Hoosier Army break through and win the game in Target Score Time! Pat McAfee's side is headed home after Austin Panchot scores the game's only goal in the extra period!

2nd min TST: Chance, Hoosier Army! WHAT A SAVE! Concafa are under siege but yet again the goalkeeper denies Hoosier Army a winner! It feels as if he has just delayed the inevitable, but anything can happen...

1st min TST: Chance, Hoosier Army! HOOSIER ARMY HAVE HIT THE POST AGAIN!! What is going on???

End of Regulation: Concafa SC 0-0 Hoosier Army

Concafa SC were the better first-half side by a slim margin, but the script was flipped on its head for the second half as Hoosier Army were by FAR the more dangerous team. Yet here we sit without a goal through 40 minutes, meaning it will go to sudden death. Who will advance to the final four of the men's bracket and remain alive with a shot at $1 million?

On to Target Score Time we go!

37th min: Chance, Hoosier Army! How does Hoosier Army not score?!? Three consecutive shots on frame, but the first hits the woodwork, the second is brilliantly saved, and the third crashes into the crossbar!

31st min: Former USMNT defender Geoff Cameron makes a critical block! Hoosier Army feel on the verge of scoring as they have gained full control of the match and pummeling the Concafa net!

HALFTIME: Concafa SC 0-0 Hoosier Army

Concafa SC slowly built themselves into the match, and commanded most of the possession, but overall both defenses remained largely in control of the match.

11th min: Zat Knight nearly scores from his own third! He almost catches the Hoosier Army goalkeeper way off his line but it goes just wide!
