Late winner by Ben Damge lifts Kentucky men’s soccer to a shaky 1-0 victory

Kentucky men’s soccer (2-0-0) outlasted the East Tennessee State Buccaneers (1-1-0) 1-0 Monday night thanks to a goal from Kentucky senior Ben Damge.

The goal came with just two and a half minutes left in the match when Ghanaian freshman Alfred Baafi centered a ball for Damge, who then did a 180-degree turn to find the bottom left corner of the net with his right foot.

Kentucky Wildcats midfielder Finn Ballard McBride (29) kicks the ball during the Kentucky vs. ETSU mens soccer match on Monday, Aug. 28, 2023, at the Wendell and Vickie Bell Soccer Complex in Lexington, Kentucky.
