The 2021 OISL Tournament continued Sunday, as teams competed in their second of three group stage games at the Papillion Landing House Field in Omaha, Nebraska. It was a must-win situation for many of the teams looking to advance to this weekend’s games.
“It is a comeback year,” said the Kenyan captain. “We are not being disqualified by a goal difference like last year.”
