Men's Soccer Edges Wolfpack, 1-0, Behind Montesdeoca's Goal
September 20, 2020 | Men's Soccer
CHAPEL HILL—Giovanni Montesdeoca scored the game's only goal in the 58th minute as the University of North Carolina defeated North Carolina State, 1-0, on Sunday evening in a men's soccer scrimmage at Dorrance Field.
The two teams felt each other out and played a scoreless first half. After a defensive miscue by the Wolfpack resulted in a failed clearing attempt, Tar Heel Jonathan Jimenez fed Montesdeoca in front of the box for a 1-0 Tar Heel advantage at the 57:45 mark.
The Pack almost tied the score not long thereafter but missed a shot from point-blank range, hitting the crossbar and rebounding back into the field.
Carolina out-shot NCSU by a 16-4 margin, including 8-1 in the first half, and held a 7-1 edge in corner kicks.
The two teams played an extra 45-minute period after Carolina won the two regulation period. UNC scored the only goal of the third session on a penalty kick by Roman Knox.
Carolina will kick off its 2020 regular season on Friday October 2 at Duke in a match to be televised on the ACC Network.
