Late goals complete comeback win for Steel FC on the road

Down 1-0 on the road late, Bethlehem Steel FC turned to their two youngest players on the field to grab a pair of goals and all three points in North Carolina on Saturday night.

Ben Ofeimu, a 17-year-old center back from Michigan, started the comeback when he was able to settle a pass from Santi Moar in the box and get his shot through traffic into the back of the net in the 83rd minute.

The goal was the first by a player on an amateur academy deal and came on a night that Ofeimu became the 17th player to debut for the Steel while still in the academy.
