Conway, Ark. - The Central Arkansas Men's Soccer Team scored in the final two minutes to seal a 3-2 victory over Memphis. The Bears move to 5-1 with the ASUN opener on the horizon.

FIRST HALF - CENTERBACKS LEAD THE WAY

The Bears started off the quickest of the two sides when Ruben Gill put the first shot on frame in the sixth minute. It wasn't until the 31st minute when Bradyn Knutson crossed the ball in which found the head of Alberto Suarez, who nodded the ball across the frame into the feet of Ole Kjoerholt who tapped it in!

In the 40th minute, Jerry Gutierrez was tripped inside the penalty area which led to a penalty kick for the Bears. Alberto Suarez stepped up and tucked away the 12-yard shot, which gave him the Central Arkansas School Record for goals in consecutive matches.

SECOND HALF - SAVE IT FOR THE FINISH

The second half saw both teams take chances early on in the half, but no one was able to break the 2-0 lead the Bears set. Zach Schawl kept Memphis out after a curling shot nearly found the top corner, but the goalkeeper palmed it away safely.

The lead held until the 80th minute when Memphis got a goal back after a quick counter-attack. The Tigers equalized just two minutes later after an awkward ball caught Zach Schawl out of position. In the 88th minute, Karim Diao cut off a back-pass by the Memphis defense. Diao rounded the goalkeeper and tucked the ball into the back of the net to give the Bears the lead with two minutes to play.
