The Albert Lea boys’ soccer team tied Rochester John Marshall under strange circumstances.

The Tigers led 3-2 Tuesday in overtime with seconds remaining when the clock stopped. However, the officials did not stop play, said Albert Lea coach Joe Squires.

The Rockets scored a goal while the clock was stopped but may have run out if it was run properly. Officials determined that the goal counted and a 3-3 tie was the result.
