@ERAUMSoccer Battles Host Barry to 1-1 Draw

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. - For the first time in 2017, the Embry-Riddle men's soccer team played a match away from the ERAU Soccer Stadium on Saturday night; and for the first time in 2017, the Eagles ended a match in a draw, tying Barry, 1-1 in double-overtime. The Eagles (1-4-1, 0-3-1 SSC) and Bucs (0-3-2, 0-2-1) struggled to find much rhythm due to the substantial number of whistles at Buccaneer Soccer Field, disrupting the flow of the match as neither team could record its first Sunshine State Conference win of the season.

The Eagles' lone score of the game came in the 29th minute when senior captain Magnus Magnusson converted on a penalty kick, putting the shot away off the left crossbar and in after Tim-Frederik Lange drew a foul in the penalty area of the Bucs. The goal was the Blue and Gold's first since its 2-1 (2OT) loss to Saint Leo on Sept. 16.

The rest of the first half featured little in the way of offense, with just two shots recorded, both by the home team, as ERAU took a 1-0 lead into the halftime break.

It was the Eagles who came out of the half the aggressor, with Daniel Gylfason and Christian Mather registering the first two shots of the period, and after 15 minutes of play in the second, the visitors still led, 1-0.

An Embry-Riddle foul, one of 26 called on the Eagles in the contest, in the 63rd minute resulted in a free kick just a few yards outside the Eagle box, and Barry's Aday Gonzalez put it in the top right corner of the goal to even the game at 1-1.

Over the final 25 minutes of regulation, the Eagle defense and goalkeeper Richard Dearle pushed away the Buccaneer attack, keeping the game tied at 1-1 until the regulation horn blew. 

Lange and Barry's Alex Doyle traded shots on goal in the 98th and 99th minutes of the first overtime, but both Dearle and Marco Sordi were up to the task. Lange, who worked tirelessly up top for the Eagles, got his head on a ball with just 37 seconds left, but again Sordi was able to make the save and the game moved to a second OT.

With both teams running on fumes in the final 10 minutes, there were just three total shots in the second overtime, but the Eagles nearly put their last chance in with one second left as Magnusson's last-ditch effort was saved by Sordi to end the game, 1-1.

Dearle finished with six saves for the Eagles, while ERAU managed nine shots with five on frame. Sordi ended the night with four saves as the hosts attempted 14 shots, seven on target.

Embry-Riddle will host Florida Tech on Saturday, Oct. 7 at the ERAU Soccer Stadium. First touch is set for 7 p.m. in Daytona Beach.
