Penn FC halts Bethlehem Steel winning streak with three unanswered goals

The stakes for Bethlehem Steel and Penn FC were laid out clearly before their Sunday afternoon match. For Bethlehem, a win over their in-state rivals would solidify their playoff position in the Eastern Conference and would put them in the conversation for a top four finish and a home playoff match. Penn FC, on the other hand, desperately needed three points to keep their playoff hopes alive as they languished in the 13th position on the table. The Steel looked ready to take care of business as they expertly controlled the first 20 minutes of the match. But Penn FC made the necessary adjustments to storm back and take the win.
