After 46 minutes of being unable to solve Michigan State’s defense, Maryland men’s soccer was finally able to break through.
Senior forward Eric Matzelevich was shot out of a cannon as he was streaking towards the left side of the Spartans’ penalty area when he delivered a soft ground ball pass into the center of the box, which found the feet of redshirt senior forward Paul Bin. The team captain was taken down hard and the referee blew his whistle, signaling a penalty for the Terps’ side.
Bin, who scored in Maryland’s last win against Michigan, calmly stepped up to the task and knocked in his second goal of the season into the bottom right corner of the goal from the spot to give the Terps a vital one-goal advantage.
