​Huron United shares the spoils in drama-filled draw against FC Rohingya B

The Huron United Football Club battled to a 2-2 draw with FC Rohingya B in an action-packed match at Spinrite Field, Sunday.

Huron United struck early with a clinical finish from its leading scorer Adam Carty, who netted his fifth of the season in the 15th minute. Carty latched onto a well-weighted pass from Gerrit Satosek and slotted the ball into the top left corner, giving his team a 1-0 lead at half-time.

The visitors responded in the 55th minute, capitalizing on a loose scramble in Huron United’s 18-yard box to beat keeper Josh Coleman and level the score.

Tensions boiled over in the 70th minute when a challenge from Huron United’s Simon Andonian led to a dramatic flop from a Rohingya player. The real drama followed immediately after, as the Rohingya player retaliated with unsportsmanlike conduct — resulting in a straight red card and a one-man advantage for Huron United.

With that man advantage, Huron United regained the lead in the 76th minute through a brilliant sequence starting with a Carty throw-in to Satosek. A quick chest pass back to Carty set up a driven cross into the box, which Drew Cobean met with a precise header to the far post.

But despite being a man down, FC Rohingya found a last-gasp equalizer in stoppage time (93rd minute) after a costly Huron United turnover. A pinpoint cross found an unmarked Rohingya striker, who calmly finished to stun the home crowd and snatch a point for the visitors.

While Huron United will be disappointed not to have held on for the win, the team came away with a hard-earned point.

Man of the Match honours went to Adam Carty, whose goal and assist once again proved his value as the team’s attacking linchpin. The forward was a constant threat and played a pivotal role in both goals. Honourable mentions go to debutante James Jeffreys for a composed performance and Gerrit Satosek for his relentless work rate and involvement in both attacking phases.
