Vancouver, British Columbia (Saturday, June 4, 2016) – Amass Amankona scored his first professional goal in the most spectacular circumstances to earn the Real Monarchs a valuable three points and end the Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2’s undefeated start to the USL season. Amankona buried his shot from an Eti Tavares free kick deep into stoppage time at the end of the second half to send the Monarchs home with 4 points from two back-to-back matches at Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver.
After a pulsating and high intensity affair looked set to conclude in another stalemate after last week’s 2-2 draw, Amankona scored the game’s only goal with the last kick of the contest.
