Two second half goals give OCU first defeat of 2024 campaign

OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma City men's soccer team dropped its first contest of the season on the road at rival Mid-America Christian after two Evangel goals in the final 12 minutes. 

Mid-America Christian 2, Oklahoma City 0

How it Happened
Oklahoma City controlled the possession throughout the majority of the first half by getting seven shots off with an attempt from Jordan Da Costa coming on-goal. In the 18th minute the Stars looked like they had broken through as Ruben Fahiya footed the ball into the net, however it was called back for offsides taking the goal off the board. 

Oklahoma City held MACU to just two shots in the first half before turning around with only two shots in the second half by the Stars with its last attempt in the 64th minute on a header by Henrique Duarte which was saved by the Evangel goalie. Nearing the final 12 minutes MACU lined up for a free kick where Enzo Nogue sent a perfectly placed ball right by the post where Ian Cupee sent it into the net off of his head for the first goal of the match. MACU added one more for insurance with two minutes to go as Pietro Musso knocked one in off the double assist to put the Stars away 2-0.
