Jonny Perez scored a goal off a free kick with less than a minute left in the game to give Flagler Palm Coast a 2-1 victory over Jacksonville Sandalwood on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at FPC's Sal Campanella Stadium.
It was the Bulldogs' first victory over a News4-Jax Super 6 team in 11 years, FPC coach Ramtin Amiri said.
Amiri brought up both center backs, Spencer Zogg and Perez, for the final-minute free kick. Androw La Rosa took the free kick and played it to Zogg in the box. Zogg's touch ended up in Perez's path, Amiri said, and Perez fired a shot into the back of the net for his first goal.
The Bulldogs improved to 5-3. Sandalwood lost its first game of the season to fall to 4-1-3. The Saints took a 1-0 lead on a penalty kick with 11:33 left in the first half. FPC's River Rodriguez tied the score with a goal off of Garrett Tucker's assist in the second half.
FPC goalie Teagan Paulo had four saves.
The Bulldogs will travel to Jacksonville Providence on Dec. 5. They have three home games next week against Mainland on Dec. 8, St. Augustine on Dec. 10 and Spruce Creek on Dec. 11.
