PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The No. 5 Kansas City Men's Soccer team rallied late Tuesday evening, earning a 2-1 road victory over Penn at Rhodes Field.
Kansas City (10-2-2, 3-0-0 SL) secured its second consecutive victory after a 2-0 road win over Delaware on Saturday. The Roos scored in the final 12 minutes to overcome a second-half equalizer and earn their 10th win of the season.
Kansas City opened the scoring in the 32nd minute when Mathias Baucher found the back of the net to give the Roos a 1-0 advantage. The Roos carried that lead into halftime, limiting Penn to four first-half shots.
Penn equalized in the 78th minute on a goal by Michael Howard, bringing the match level at 1-1. Kansas City responded just over five minutes later, as Raphael Kistmann converted a penalty kick after a VAR review for a handball in the box in the 83rd minute to put the Roos back in front, 2-1. The goal put Kistmann into the team lead for goals on the year with six.
The Kansas City defense held firm over the final minutes to secure the road victory. Brandon Kincaid recorded two saves, while the Roos finished with a 10-9 advantage in shots and three shots on goal.
NOTES
Kansas City returns home to host Massachusetts for Senior Day on Sunday, Oct. 25. Kickoff is scheduled for noon at Durwood Soccer Stadium.
