Why ruin a good thing by going pro? The owner class in professional sports wants nothing to do with the values of "community owned."

#OnThisDay in 1967 – Donaldo Rosales’ goal gave #CDOlimpia a 1:0 win over hosts #AuroraFC in 2nd leg (1:1 agg.) of Concacaf Champions’ Cup 1st Round in Guatemala City. It was 1st win for Honduran club in tournament history. Series tied; therefore, a playoff encounter was set for the following week.
Final whistle. Utah’s first half stoppage time goal is the difference. Utah advances to the USLW championship despite a valiant effort by Aurora.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
5 minutes of stoppage time for Aurora to find an equalizer.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
Last Chance Saloon time for Aurora. 88th minute and still 1-0 Utah.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
57th minute- Kane punches a dangerous Utah cross clear.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
Aurora exerting pressure on Utah to start the half, but no breakthrough yet. Also seems like the smoke and haze are starting to encroach on TCO.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
Start of the second half. 46 minutes for Aurora to find an equalizer.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
Westlund draws a foul just outside Utah’s box in first half stoppage time. Free kick skyed over the the bar. Utah counters and Wallbrook scores just before the break. 1-0 Utah at the half.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
Westlund has forced Utah to make two difficult saves in the last few. Unlucky to have nothing to show for it.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
Of course as soon as I type that Utah forces Kane into a difficult save and Utah starts to exert pressure.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
28th Minute - Aurora starting to get a foothold on the game, but unable to break Utah down in the final third.
#minnesotaaurora #aurorafc
A nice pass puts Wimes in with one defender and it’s forced out for a corner.

Why doesn’t #Minnesota have a #NWSL team? Over 17k to watch the #USWNT play China and the hometown #AuroraFC — a USL W league team — sells out regularly.
Hey NWSL, MN *loves* and supports Women’s sports! So please award us a team and take my money annually for season tickets!

At the #TcoStadium for the #AuroraFC match this afternoon. Gorgeous stadium but super disappointing there’s little to NO home team signage love for the local women’s soccer team, just #Vikings stuff. I mean seriously, why not at least fly a big ‘Ol Aurora FC flag?
#LowHangingFruit #WomensSports
Excited to go to #AuroraFC ’s #WomensSoccer match later today but yowza their ticket system sucks. 🤮
Multi-step sludgefest requires an #NFL id, #Vikings acct, Vikings mobile app, #Ticketmaster credentials & linking all together where the Vikings not Aurora FC manage. 🤬 Secure right? 🤣

…on February 13, 1977, #CDÁguila won the 1st leg of final, 5:1, over visiting #SVRobinhood at Cuscatlán Stadium as it advanced to the championship series after eliminating #AuroraFC (2:1), #AlianzaFC (1:0) & #DiriangenFC (11:2 agg.) in ’76; then #ClubLeon (3:1 agg.) in ’77 semifinals.
#OnThisDay in 1968–Despite a fight caused by #AuroraFC (📸1 - #AntorchaDeporte), hosts #SVTransvaal (📸2 – Desney Romero) still won the 2nd leg of Concacaf Champions’ Cup Semifinals, 2:0, in Paramaribo. However, Transvaal also used 3 ineligible players, therefore both were disqualified from the event.
