FAU men’s soccer (3-2-2, 0-2-0 C-USA) suffered disappointment on Saturday afternoon at FAU Soccer Stadium, as they lost 3-1 to the nationally-ranked Kentucky Wildcats.
Kentucky got on the scoresheet within 16 minutes of the game, with the goal coming from junior midfielder Clay Holstad. Sophomore forward Eythor Bjorgolfsson had the courtesy of getting the assist.
It didn’t take long for the Owls to respond, as a foul in the penalty box in the 24th minute gave them the opportunity to score. Senior forward Ivan Mykhailenko nailed the penalty perfectly to equalize for FAU.
Both teams were physical with one another as 10 fouls were committed on both sides throughout the entire first half.
