Swope Park Rangers come back to level game 2-2 versus SLC
The Swope Park Rangers stepped up their intensity in the second half to dig themselves out of a two goal first half deficit against the Real Monarchs. Nansel Selbol and Kharlton Belmar subbed in at halftime and led the Rangers back with each scoring against the top team in the Western Conference.
The Monarchs jumped out to an early lead when Daniel Haber took a free kick in the 8th minute from a few yards outside the box. Haber’s shot was perfectly placed just inside the upper corner and out of reach of Swope Park keeper Adrian Zendejas.
Felipe Hernandez almost returned the favor in the 21st but his dipping free kick went a little wide of goal.
