Mingoes tie with Bears in fierce match

The University of The Bahamas men's soccer team put its three-match winning streak on the line against Bears FC Sunday in Bahamas Football Association play at The Roscow A.L. Davies Field.

It didn't quite get snapped but it didn't quite survive.

The Mingoes played to a 1-1 draw against Bears FC  after a heated match.

The Bears scored early in the match around the 29th minute and held that lead heading into halftime.

In the second half, Ronaldo Green was awarded a penalty kick but missed that would have been the equalizer for The Mingoes.

It was Joshua Johnson in the 80th minute who scored the equalizing goal for The Mingoes to tie the game at 1-1.

"We started a bit slow today," assistant head coach Alex Thompson said. "We had a player who was put on a red card and the league rescinded 24 hours before the game so that forced an adjustment to the lineup before the game started.  That's no excuse because we had at least ten chances inside the opponent's box."

Thompson said the team show a lot of heart to get back in the match and come out with the draw. He added that a goal of the team is to finish in the top two in standings and the draw make that even harder. "But it's still on the table mathematically," he said. "We just have to handle the rest of the season and we need a little bit of luck as well.

The Mingoes next play Future Stars Sunday 3pm at The Roscow A.L. Davies Field.
