BROOKLYN, NY— The York College men's soccer team had an offensive explosion Saturday afternoon, scoring five goals en route to defeating Brooklyn College 5-3 in a key CUNY Athletic Conference match. With the win, York now stands at 3-5, 2-1 in the CUNYAC.
York opened the scoring in the 11th minute, when Mclaney Moise found Richard Amponsah on a cross, who then beat the keeper for a 1-0 advantage. Then in the 23rd minute, Rachidi Amadolu, York's leading scorer, would make it 2-0 when he scored off a rebound. Eight minutes later, in the 31st minute, York's Khadim Kebe made it 3-0 when he took advantage of a penalty kick. The score would remain 3-0 going into halftime.
York opened the half with another goal, making it 4-0 when Hugo Cicanois forced a turnover and scored a goal unassisted from 40 yards out.
Brooklyn (2-4-1, 1-2 CUNYAC) would eventually cut York's lead in half though, getting two goals off the foot of Mack Diller to make it 4-2. However, another goal from Hugo Cicanois in the 81st minute iced the game for the Cardinals.
