MARSHALL, Mo. - A scoreless first half turned into a wild game as MNU fell 3-2 in the final seconds at #4 Missouri Valley on Tuesday. The Vikings got on the board just after halftime, but MNU tied it just 2 minutes later. In the 56th minute, Valley again took the lead. But
Felipe Abreu headed home a beautiful cross from
Jonathan Koch in the 71st minute to tie it at 2. With 2 minutes left, MNU drew a PK but failed to convert. And with 10 seconds left, the Vikings drew a PK taken by Uros Ilic which was saved by
Juan Pablo Riesco. But the rebound founds its way to feet of Ilic and he fired it home for the game winner.

Johannes Keisers was injured early in the match and only played 27 minutes.
