Overland Boys Soccer Falls 4-3 to Legend in 5A Playoff Debut

The Overland boys soccer team lost 4-3 to top-seeded Legend on Wednesday night, ending a playoff run that lasted only one match. The game, played at EchoPark Stadium in Parker, marked the Trailblazers' first appearance in the Class 5A state postseason since 2022.

The match featured a back-and-forth first half. Overland fell behind early but equalized in the 26th minute. Senior Hammam Swissi took a free kick into the box, where junior Hemdry Campose headed the ball off the underside of the crossbar and into the net. The score remained tied at the break.

Legend took control in the second half, outscoring Overland 3-2 in the final 45 minutes. The Titans, who finished the regular season with a 12-1-3 record and co-own the Continental League title, advanced to the second round. Their next opponent will be 16th-seeded Heritage.

Coach Mazen Kayali led Overland to a 5-5-6 overall record this season. The team won two more games in the 2026 campaign than it did in 2025. The result leaves the Trailblazers with a 1-0 playoff record for the year, having won their only other postseason game in a prior round.

The loss concludes Overland's 2026 season. The program had not reached the state tournament in four years. Legend continues its run in the bracket, while Overland returns to the offseason after a season that saw the team extend its competitive window into October.
