Penn State vs Pittsburgh | NCAA College Soccer | Highlights - August 30, 2024

and 17 at the University of Pittsburgh and it's Jeff Cook on the other side looking to bring the mney Lions back into ordinance on the ribs and the stripes pit moving into the box here playing it Middle with it is Thorson who has the two goals early on this one sent over the middle trying to get back to it as they played pen State this year they were unranked to start and now they're the number three team in the nation here's graning on the near side of the box has a Lane right foot and that one's blocked away when the referee has had to go into his whistle or his pocket playing the long ball trying to find Oliver on the long run he's got a little bit of a lane here into the box Chase Oliver plays it middle and nobody's home cabal Carter will scoot over to it pick it up and they surviv that opportunity yeah and that was an erron pass from myu and uh it was smart smart decision from all backline chance here for pit as Villa Maan plays it through sniffed out by Cay back into the box grening has it right foot snagged out of the air by Andrew cook that's a great save from cook Cay unable to truly clear his lines the ball went right back to grening and a good shot from him tailing through the whistles to the mouth back and forth here with Henderson and Cay Cay sends it through to Oliver who is playing way far off sides and the Hand goes up you know you could be a brand new team but four games in the season you'll know who plays who fosa threw to Thorson plays it back middle nice stop there by B it's Mato mayuu waiting here on the far side puts the left foot on it sent into the the Box going up high stopped by Andrew cook he controls it looked like Phill Maan got a head on it but Andrew cook Snips it out near side grenning grenning working into the box against grabfelder grabfelder denies it sent back middle played back out by Penn State and Defenders fossa number 10 taking the corner kick sent in Middle off the crossbar just High I actually think cook might have got a hand to it I don't thinka finding some space here is Villa Maan and that one's blocked out of play svenby has it back to fosa plays it middle sent up high off the head of Luis samal an improptu corner kick awaiting at his bed in house and he runs through ball sent into the box playing and high first one to it's Penn State shot on that they score Christian Deon right foot first goal of the match 1 nil for Penn State the nitty lions got on that second chance ball in the Box it was bouncing around no pick player was in the area Dion steaming in and what a situation that was for him he steamed in had an open net to score into and what a situation that was great work to leave that ball for Dion and then a as this one's played deep into the box Thorson waiting he takes a touch and the whistle and the arm goes off TOA and mayuu these two have played games as I mentioned earlier on these free kicks taking it is fosa looking for the top left corner but it goes refere who's 2,000 miles away not going to change his decision but it makes you feel better bertron playing it through he's got a streaking Thorson and cook comes out of his net to snag it off the turn time one shot could be all the difference in this match one shot one goal in Penn State they're going to be happy campers coming into the break so Christian Deion with the first goal of the match off the right foot and the assist from Samuel over so and practice just kind of gives you that intuition and that that kind of inside look at what the life of a clevan soccer player is like so you know keep this match even as Dy makes his move in the Box sends it back to Henderson left foot into the box and that's turned aside winding one up and firing one on net was oneon-one as we saw Cay starting to Mark Thorson earlier on Thorson's now in the middle of the box trying to get it to him off his head and over that one misses near side wide that was a situation there it was a great run from Thorson and he tried to get that ball from svenby and it was just a bit behind him which caused him to kind of have to whip his headback to try to get that header on goal and it's tough from that situation to get a ball on Target and even then as you can see from the replay if you're going to get it still nothing for pit here in the second half but they have had time of possession and these later stages but it's taken away by Oliver Oliver pulls it back takes no matter where they're from the more confident pen state gets the more confident Andrew Cook gets Panthers right back trying to get it into the box foot on it Thorson has a chance he goes to the turf and the whistle blows first penalty of the night coming here and it'll be Albert Thorson who earns it as we go to the replay there Cay I believe it was just catching thoron kind of from behind as Thorson was attempting to turn as we see the replay on our screens here ball going to The Far Side from Rio De Janeiro Brazil fosa scores bottom right corner he beats cook equalizer 1-1 and shouts from pit to get back pit not try not trying to settle and celebrate they want to go back and instantly get back on the attack fatos was a good penalty from him into that bottom right corner sending cook the wrong way he took a deep breath he made sure new dynamic in this match even at one a piece Chase Oliver with another chance streaking into the box Oliver plays it pit doesn't want to to you know give Penn State that kind of same satisfaction they know that they are the team you know ranked higher as D sends one in and pit takes the lead two to one showing off the gymnastics skills it's Casper speni coming up huge and a cross that I don't think anybody expected I was still going through my point of how pit wanted this game and they wanted to go for a win they weren't comfortable settling for a draw and they no longer have to pit with a great cross to the back post and a cool and a good finish the header coming along you know looks like it was lass a doll pardon me not Casper Spen who came flying in there and last was Casper as we go back to Casper it's mohamd CE the aggressive Center back plays it near side Matthew Henderson little touch grabfelder shot right at Carter Penn State they're comfortable with chances like that but they're only going to be comfortable with chances like that for a little while longer eventually grabfelder and Co Gilman retreating pen State getting a little more aggressive here as grabfelder comes in behind behind he has a yellow referee reaching into his pocket and there's the second yellow and grabfelder not happy slaps the chair down and he's sent off grab Felder was frustration from him unhappy it pits delay of the of the restart and a number of times it was a frustration foul from him but it's immature you can't do that the sophomore knows it he knows the situation that he's put Penn State in down a goal down a man is the pit bench a couple of players clapping in grab felder's Direction you can see the tons of space tons of opportunity finds villaman makes his move into the box right foot wide it's lass to get into this match and it's going to open up opportunities for the Panthers Dion able to take it away there's no whistle he's playing through into the box Dion makes his move moving through two Defenders and the double team itself have to slice it in but now he has an opportunity on the far side near the Big 10 logo he Loops it in cabal Carter out of the air snagging it and it's different than any type of professional soccer or club soccer that as mayuu sends it in it's de playy to try to change that story trying to change the headline Loper into the box Thorson the first one there rainbow ball hawked out by Andrew cook center of the field yeah you don't get a lot of spin or tail on the shot so they'll elect to pass it right out to Morgan Marshall who goes right back middle Hughes gets a fun on it but it goes high and hes he only had a state balls as fast as possible and here's Henderson he plays it middle too far didn't get enough curl on that cabal Carter lets it roll now he snags it clocks down to five he will hold it and the number three team in the land the pit Panthers after trailing one nil have fought back in the second half two unanswered they take it two to one what a statement here against their instate rival yeah an absolute statement when I'm actually still trying to go back to the substitution pen State just made it doesn't make sense for the NY Lions to make that substit
