In one of the most highly anticipated matchups of the season, Cal squared off against Stanford in the second leg of the Big Clásico. In the battle for the third spot in the Pac-12 standings, Cal needed at least a tie to fulfill its wishes.
Following the defeats in their most recent games against UCLA and Portland, the Bears’ initial momentum at the beginning of the season seemed to be on the verge of an irreversible halt.
The Bears took the field against the Lancers in Riverside on a calm Thursday evening. Rohan McEligot’s last-minute goal led Cal to its first away victory of the season.
