Alexis Munoz pounded home the deciding goal in penalty strikes as the the North Coquitlam Blue Devils nipped their club rivals, the Gunners, to claim the boys Under-17 Gold Westminster District Cup soccer title Saturday.
Rob Gido of the Blue Devils scored in the game's opening goal in the first half but the Gunners responded off a scramble in front of goalie Sebastian Faber to even the score before the intermission.
The second half and two ensuing overtime periods solved nothing despite both teams taking turns pressing desperately to end the deadlock.
