There was no drama for No. 1 seed Birmingham in its opening game of the City Section Division 1 soccer playoffs Wednesday. The Patriots were focused and determined not to give No. 17 South East any hope of an upset. From the opening minutes, when Jerry Ramos put in a goal on a direct kick, Birmingham was taking no prisoners.
The Patriots came away with a 7-0 victory, with Oscar Vargas getting his team-leading 22nd and 23rd goals of the season. The win also gave Birmingham some retribution considering South East had upset the Patriots in last year’s City championship game.
Birmingham will play a Friday quarterfinal game against Hamilton, which defeated Bell on penalty kicks.
