STOCKPORT COUNTY u19s 3 FC UNITED of MANCHESTER YOUTH 3
FC United of Manchester Youth team remain unbeaten in the National League u19 Alliance 'H' Division following this 3-3 away draw against Stockport County u19s at Stockport Sports Village on Wednesday afternoon.
But it took a late 91st minute from substitute Iaia Balde to grab a share of the points.
After a head injury which had necessitated FC United captain Jack Bennett being substituted off after just two minutes, the home side had taken the lead on 11 minutes when JOSH OSIRO headed home at the far post.
FC United drew level on 14 minutes, Adam Poole sending SANDRO DA COSTA haring away, the Reds No. 11 advancing from his own half before placing the ball past the home keeper from just inside the penalty area.
On 37 minutes, Stockport County regained the lead, the unmarked JAMES CROWLEY blasting the ball high into the net past FC 'keeper Josh Brooks.
Two minutes before half time, FC United equalised for the second time. Arlo Buller was fouled in the Stockport penalty area, and after a brief delay, TOBY HUMPHRIES stepped up to steer his spot kick just wide of home 'keeper Ted Bentham.
Half time: Stockport County u19s 2 FC United of Manchester Youth 2.
On 58 minutes, JOSH OSIRO was in the right place to net a rebound off the goal frame to put Stockport 3-2 in front.
Despite a triple substitution by FC United on 70 minutes, that looked as if it might be the winner, until the first minute of time added on, when FC substitute Andy Uduebor set up IAIA BALDE to sweep the ball home from six yards out for a dramatic last gasp equaliser.
Final score: Stockport County u19s 3 FC United of Manchester Youth 3.
