Kansas City, Mo. -- Creighton Men's Soccer suffered a 2-1 loss to Kansas City on Tuesday, September 12th.
The defeat moved the Bluejays to 1-3-2 on the season, while the Roos climbed to 2-2-2 overall.
After a scoreless first half the Bluejays broke through on a corner kick piece as freshman Miguel Arilla found classmate Andrija Savic to put Creighton up 1-0 in the 49th minute (48:48).
Kansas City answered in the 64th minute (63:36) as Brice Middleton finished a series of passes from Hector Taboada and Julien Le Bourdoulous with a goal from one yard out.
Creighton seemed to reclaim the lead moments later as junior Jackson Castro's free kick was sent into the back of the net, however as the Bluejays celebrated in the corner the official waived off the goal with a call of offside.
Still knotted at 1-1 as the game moved into the final moments, the Roos took the match as Le Bourdoulous four Griffin Cook for a header from three yards out in the 89th minute (88:49).
The Bluejays closed the match with a 12-11 edge on shots and a 7-5 lead in corners created.
