ROUNDUP: Panthers’ Polster converts late PK, hands Legacy first loss

Matt Polster’s penalty-kick goal seconds before the final whistle Friday lifted Palo Verde’s boys soccer team to a 2-1 home win over previously unbeaten Legacy.

Polster was fouled in the box in the final minute and given a penalty kick. With the final seconds ticking down, he buried the shot and moved the Panthers (11-1-2, 11-1-2 Northwest) within two points of the Northwest League-leading Longhorns (13-1-1, 12-1-1).

Alexander Shackley’s goal gave the Panthers a 1-0 halftime lead, but Legacy’s Saul Aguirre tied the match, setting the stage for Polster’s dramatic match-winner.
