Men's Soccer Highlights vs #3 Clemson (10/25/2026)

If Virginia Tech's going to hit Clemson in transition, look for Vasquez to be the one to get in behind. A top team in the land like Clemson. It'll be Alex Perez, the junior from Vegas, in his 47th game. Good ball low, and it finds the net. The Hokies on their home pitch, and it's Tito Peralta who buries it home, 1-0 to the home side. Well, Tito Peralta missed the midweek game against Winthrop. Well done by Clemson to get back, but the back heel, even better, cut back across, carving out space, left footed shot, is high and wide, how about Virginia Tech, the effort, the intensity, formidable. Well, I think it's, you just said it, it's the commitment of this group to the game plan, the way that they want to get at you, and it's not always the prettiest, but they are finding pockets of space. Marcano, chips, headed, out of the box, and cleared away. How about the speed here from Okunlola? Oh, big tackle. Big decision here. Big decision. Get to this ball, but when he does so, and pushes it past Tito Peralta, now the decision for Nick Balser, our center referee, is, is Peralta the last man in defense for Virginia Tech? We thought so in real time. The question becomes, this touch from Remy Okunlola, is Diego Dozier the goalkeeper in a position to get to that ball, or would Remy Okunlola be in on frame? Again, in real time, and it's hard to tell from that angle there, in real time, it looked like he would have, and I believe that's the right decision from our center referee. Aiden Jantak has been outstanding at the left-back position. This ball forward, Beltrach, number five with the ball, cuts it back to his left foot. This is good from Virginia Tech. Oh, the ball out in front, and it cuts forward. His second goal in as many games, and Virginia Tech would not be denied. We're 2-2 in Blacksburg. Well, it was Chase Vasquez in the end, a real poacher's goal to find the equalizer, but what a combination play from Virginia Tech. It comes off. That will end their season in the postseason. It's going to be the defense, because you know they can score as well as anyone. That shot, they've got a lot of firepower, including from Duncan Wilson. This is what he brings to the game that's a little bit different. There's a big frame, 6-1, 1-9. What does Virginia Tech have in their bag here? Well done, Mateos. Here he receives. He's got some space here. His shot whistles wide. You can see Garcia frustrated with the defense. Oh, Clemson looks shaky in the back. Dropping in, trying to absorb pressure. They're playing Clemson straight up, 10 against 11, and they're finding better pockets of space and better chances. Here's Gian on the turn and shot. It'll be saved there. Jimenez. Now you have an opportunity in the Clemson box. It's a Virginia Tech team offensively this season. It hasn't been a lack of scoring goals. Top 25 in the country, top five in the ACC. Looking for a third here. This would be a big one right out in front of the net. The rhythm as you see that last chance for Virginia Tech. Good ball into the box. Bounces straight to Matias Yohannes just into the game. A little bit awkward there, just hip height. But again, as we're talking about it. Andrea Tola carries it forward. Gian on the turn. He's clipped. This could be a booking too. The stop of the clock indeed. Not sure how intentional it is, but he doesn't allow or answer Gian. With this touch right here, he's going straight in on that back line. You know how dynamic he is when he gets going. So ultimately, a good yellow card to take there from the freshman from Denver. Jimenez and Andrea Tola standing over the ball. Jimenez will have a hit. Big save. It was pushed away there from Dozier, and he had to have it. Working back to that near post. It's a good effort just dipping around that. Gian in swinging ball loose out in front Dozier has it he might want to hit quick instead hold on to the ball point here at home for the Virginia Tech Hokies well the Hokies on their home pitch down a man they fight to earn a point in this one the teams will share the points and SMU wins a share of the ACC regular season title final score Clemson two Virginia Tech two
