Seahorses score off set piece in waning seconds to capture three points

LA MIRADA, California — The San Francisco Glens have no problem taking leads in games this season. Holding onto them is another story.

After darting out to an early advantage for the fourth straight game, the Glens could not sustain it, conceding two second-half goals to fall 2-1 to the SoCal Seahorses at Al Barbour Field.

In the third minute, Arda Bulut found fellow forward Tawwab Emiola in the box and the latter scored his second goal of the season to put the Glens up 1-0. The lead would vanish in the 54th minute, when Malik Shaheed’s dynamic dribbling and subsequent finish equalized for the Seahorses.

The two teams remained deadlocked until the 92nd minute, when the hosts would score the game-winner after a last-second free kick.

The Glens have dropped their second straight contest and are now facing a must-win game Sunday at Ventura College against the Ventura County Fusion. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
