Stoppage Time Penalty Sends Penn FC Past TFC II

Ortiz’s late spot kick adds to Tribbett brace to seal victory 

HARRISBURG, Penn. — A stoppage time penalty gave Penn FC a dramatic 3-2 win over Toronto FC II 
at FNB Field on Saturday night. In the seventh minute of stoppage time, Jerry Ortiz stepped 
up and sent the ball right up the middle to seal the victory. Despite a strong start from the hosts, 
it was Toronto that opened the scoring as the Penn defense broke down which allowed Ayo Akinola 
to run through and get on the end of Mariano Miño’s through-ball and he slid the ball home for 
a shock opener. After going behind Penn FC pushed to find an equalizer to get back into the match 
but could not beat a stern Toronto defense before halftime. The hosts took that momentum into 
the second half, determined to get on level terms, and in the 53rd minute that pressure told. 
A high looping cross from Kyle Venter found captain Ken Tribbett who was left unmarked in the middle 
of the box which allowed the Penn FC defender to head home with too much power for Toronto goalkeeper 
Gianluca Catalano. Just two minutes later Tribbett did it again, this time from a corner sent 
in by Richard Menjivar that he headed into the bottom-left corner of the net. Just when it seemed 
the game was getting away from Toronto the visitors equalized, as second-half substitute Malik Johnson 
had a big influence on the game with one of his first touches of the ball when he laid it square 
for Jordan Hamilton, who shot powerfully across the face and into the back of the net. But Penn pushed 
hard in the closing stages of the match and was rewarded with the dramatic win.

#PENvTOR: Highlights and Opta Box Score

Three Things That Matter:

1. It’s been difficult for Toronto FC II this season, and this match looked like changing things as it seemed 
the visitors would take a point only to lose in heartbreaking fashion. While TFC II has rectified its 
goal-scoring woes, having scored nine goals in its past five matches keeping teams out has proven difficult, 
the club conceding 17 in the same stretch.

2. Coming into this match Penn FC had not won a match when conceding a goal, but this time the players kept 
their heads up after going behind. It took time but the pressure eventually told with Tribbett’s two goals, 
before the side kept the pressure up after conceding again and was rewarded with the goal.

3. It may be simplifying the play for Penn but it’s clear Tribbett’s head is a weapon for the hosts, having 
scored three goals in two weeks the defender has proven a vital target on set pieces which is where most 
goals are coming from for the club.

USLSoccer.com Man of the Match:
Ken Tribbett, Penn FC — Coming up from the back to score two headed goals was only part of a strong performance 
from the Penn FC captain who won six aerial duels and made five interceptions in an impressive end-to-end game.
