Janine Sonis curled in a stoppage-time free kick to seal a dramatic 2-1 win for the Denver Summit over third-placed Utah Royals at Centennial Stadium.
AIJanine Sonis delivered the moment of the match with a stunning stoppage-time free kick to hand the Denver Summit a 2-1 victory over the Utah Royals on Saturday.
It was a result that dents Utah's ambitions - they sit third in the table - while Denver's upward trajectory shows no sign of slowing.
Sonis was involved in everything. She teed up the opener and then struck the winner herself, taking her season tally to 11 goal contributions - a career best, Equalizer Soccer reports.
Denver broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute through Yazmeen Ryan, who finished off a move orchestrated by Sonis. The Summit looked comfortable until Tatum Milazzo pulled Utah level in the 89th minute, seemingly salvaging a point.
But Sonis had other ideas. Stepping up to a free kick deep into added time, she bent it home to spark wild celebrations and seal all three points for Denver.
