Quintero Scores Late Winner Against GCU in Home Opener

FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton men's soccer scored in the 87th minute to defeat Grand Canyon 1-0 in its home opener Sunday evening at Titan Stadium. With the win the Titans improve to 2-2-3. 

With the clock winding down and both teams on the attack looking for the go-ahead goal, Mario Carlos drew a foul just outside the 18-yard box to give Fullerton a free kick. 

Fernando Valenzuela took the free kick and sent the ball into the box, placing it perfectly for Jorge Quintero to get a head on the ball and redirect it to the back of the net. 

Quintero's late winner gives the Titans three goals after the 85th minute this season (Oral Roberts 2-2, California Baptist 1-1, Grand Canyon 1-0). 

The two-teams played a back and forth match for 86 minutes with both sides creating quality chances. The Titans out-shot Grand Canyon 18-10 with seven shots on goal to Grand Canyon's four. 

Both goalkeepers made outstanding saves throughout the match to keep it a scoreless contest. Emanuel Padilla recorded four saves on the night and none bigger than in the 36th minute. 

The Titans look to keep their momentum at home going as they welcome Seattle to Titan Stadium Thursday night. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. following the women's soccer game which starts at 5:00 p.m.
