Beavers Battle Aztecs to Draw
November 03, 2022 | Men's Soccer
CORVALLIS – The Oregon State men's soccer team battled San Diego State to a 2-2 draw Thursday evening at Lorenz Field in Corvallis, Ore.
Mouhameth Thiam and David Perez tallied the Beavers goals. Thiam's strike marked his fifth goal in Oregon State's last six games.
The Beavers played the final 20 minutes of the contest a man down, after having a player sent off with a 70th-minute red card.
Oregon State held a 12-10 advantage on corners in the match.
San Diego State got on the score sheet early. Oregon State goalkeeper Jesus Sanchez made the save on an Aztec penalty kick, but the SDSU player hammered home the rebound. Max Gosset nearly leveled the score with a header moments later, forcing a San Diego State save.
Oregon State evened things up minutes later, as Thiam hammered home a beautiful cross from Fran Cortijo from 10 yards out. The Dakar, Senegal native nearly netted a second shortly thereafter, but his effort was blocked.
The two sides went back and forth from there, with the Beavers creating the bulk of the scoring chances, but heading to the intermission level.
Cortijo took aim on a free kick early in the second frame, but his effort curled over the crossbar. Perez put the Beavers in front in the 48th, chipping the ball over the keeper from a tight angle after Nico Lopez had played him in on goal with a brilliant ball over the top.
Gael Gibert came close to doubling the advantage in the 62nd minute, but his shot from the left side of the box was blocked. The Aztecs leveled the score in the 65th when a shot from outside the box deflected off a Beaver defender and into the net.
Oregon State was reduced to 10 men in the 70th, when Tomas Bedouret was sent off after picking up a second yellow card. The Beavers continued to attack late on despite the numerical disadvantage.
Dante William nearly netted the winner within the final three minutes of play, but his shot fizzed just outside the upper 90.
Oregon State played the match without the services of two regular starters – goalkeeper Luis Castillo and midfielder Adria Capdevila, both of whom were serving a one-game ban after picking up a red card in the Beavers' last match against California.
The Beavers will host Senior Day on Sunday, when UCLA visits Lorenz Field.
