KEY MOMENT

• With the Penmen holding on to a 1-0 edge midway through the 53rd minute, grad student Dani Gonzalez (Llanera, Spain) swiped the ball from an Adelphi defender who could not corral it and slipped a quick pass into the right side of the box for Fuentes. Fuentes ran on to it, dribbled to the outside corner of the 6 and sent a low shot back across the diving goalkeeper and inside the far post.
