Monsanto’s last-minute goal lifts FPC past Seabreeze
Nate Monsanto’s diving header with a minute remaining lifted Flagler Palm Coast past Seabreeze with a 3-2 win on Friday night.
It was another crazy finish and comeback win for FPC, which improved to 11-1-1 with the victory.
Seabreeze took an early 1-0 lead after pressing in the first half. FPC’s defense, which has been stellar all season, allowed two first-half goals.
Johnny Osorio was able to pull one back before the first half ended to cut Seabreeze’s lead to 2-1.
FPC was able to turn the tables in the final 40 minutes and control the time of possession. Osorio found the net for his second goal in the 60th minute for the equalizer.
Then, Monsanto connected on a free kick by Steven Dack for the game-winner.
FPC outshout Seabreeze, 12-4.
Bulldogs keeper Austin Davis collected two saves.

FPC outscored Sandalwood 25-8 in the first quarter, and the Lady Bulldogs never looked back. Ivana Boyd nearly had a double-double, too, dropping 19 points, grabbing nine rebounds and snatching two steals.
