Wild final minute results in 2-1 Falcons' win over Delta

The Folsom Lake men's soccer team experienced perhaps their craziest finish of any game on Friday afternoon at Falcon Stadium, where they came away shaking their heads after a 2-1 victory over Delta College.  After a scoreless first half, the Falcons took a 1-0 lead in the 60th minute on Mustafa Ali's goal - assisted by Freddie Allen - and held that lead for the next 30 minutes of play.  But during stoppage time, things got out of hand as the referee issued six yellow cards and a red card in the final five minutes.  The final frantic minute included a Falcon penalty in the box, allowing the Mustangs to tie the game on the Penalty Kick.  But less than 30 seconds later, the Falcons were awarded a PK after a Mustang penalty, and sophomore defender Alejandro Flores sent the PK into the net for the game-winning goal.  

Ironically, the last time these two teams met (on October 4), the Falcons scored four goals in the final 15 minutes to pull out a 5-4 win.
