Cards Earn Second Straight 3-0 Victory
September 06, 2019 | Men's Soccer
Louisville defeated Florida Atlantic in its first road game of the season
BOCA RATON, Fla. - The University of Louisville men's soccer team picked up a decisive 3-0 victory for the second time this week, as the Cardinals earned their first road win of the season at Florida Atlantic Friday night, Sept. 6.
All three Cardinal's goals came in the second half. The Cards held a 5-3 shot advantage in the first half, putting two shots on goal, while holding the Owls without an on-goal attempt.
In the 53rd minutes, the Owls were called for a hand ball inside the box, giving the Cardinals a penalty kick. Louka Masset stepped up to the line and drilled home his second goal of the season and scoring his second PK in as many games.
Cherif Dieye added to the Cards lead in the 62nd minute. Dieye gathered the ball off a header by an FAU defender, and blasted the ball home into the bottom right corner of the goal from the top of the 18-yard box.
Louisville tacked on one more goal in the 70th minute when Izaiah Jennings drilled home a shot from about 25 yards out, into the upper right 90.
In goal, Jake Gelnovatch recorded three saves for UofL, all coming in the second half.
On the night, the Cards out-shot the Owls 13-10, and had more shots on goal (7-to-3).
The Cardinals continue their road trip when they travel to USF Monday, Sept. 9, for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
