With only six minutes remaining between Maryland men’s soccer and No. 14-seed Cornell in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, it seemed like the match was destined for a penalty shootout as neither team was able to create many opportunities.

The clock stopped with 6:24 remaining as senior goalkeeper Niklas Neumann lined up a goal kick. He booted the ball toward midfield and Cornell senior midfielder Brandon Morales jumped up and headed the ball back towards Neumann.

Cornell sophomore forward Danny Lokko gathered the ball and passed it to senior defender Cam Maquat. After getting swarmed by Maryland defenders, Maquat dished the ball right back to Lokko, who swung his leg back and drilled the ball at the net.
