MOUNTAIN VIEW >> Moments after blocking a penalty kick in sudden death overtime, Alvaro Reyes asked if he could attempt a penalty kick as one of Alvarez’s six shooters.

Having arguably one of the best soccer seasons of any goalie in the section this season, the 6-foot-2 Reyes created pandemonium with his leg Tuesday.

Reyes sent a shot screaming through the net, lifting the Eagles to a dramatic 5-4 penalty kick win over No. 2 seed Mountain View in the Central Coast Section Division I playoffs.

“After your fifth kicker, you have to assign another five if the game is still tied,” Alvarez coach Gabriel Campos said. “He asked to shoot. It was right after his block. It was the perfect move. You could tell he wanted it.”

The Gabilan Division champion Eagles, who have already sealed a spot in the Northern California tournament, will face top-seed Bellarmine for the section title on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Santa Clara University.

Alvarez, which has set a school record for wins at 20-0-2, is the defending CCS Division III champions. Bellarmine has won 17 CCS Division I titles, with its last coming in 2023.

The West Catholic Athletic League champions beat Westmont 2-0 to improve to 17-2-3 this season — 14-1-1 in their past 16 matches.

“I’ve caught a couple games on film of them,” Campos said. “To be honest, I try not to look too far ahead. I only review the opponent that’s coming up. Bellarmine is similar to Serra in its physicality. They have to respect what we do as well.”

A goal from Jorge Hernandez on an assist from Omar Lopez was Alvarez’s only goal in regulation. Neither team mustered a goal in overtime, forcing the match to penalty kicks.

Reyes, who finished with 10 saves to give him 115 on the season, made two big stops to set himself up for his game-winning heroics.

The Eagles will go into the final riding a 10-game winning streak.

“There was some adversity tonight. This is what we’ve been working for all year,” Campos said. “We’ve been knocking down one brick at a time. We’ve made some noise. We need to bring this home.”
