Tiago Troyano’s penalty kick goal with 2 minutes remaining provided the Allen Community College soccer team with the decisive goal in a wild 5-4 win over Northern Oklahoma College-Tonkawa.

“Obviously, giving up four goals is never a good thing, but these guys have grit and tenacity,” Red Devil head coach Doug Desmarteau said.

Tuesday’s victory was courtesy of a pair of Red Devil comebacks.

NOC-Tonkawa led 2-0 at intermission, with both goals coming off of penalty kicks, before the Red Devils hit back early and often in the second half, scoring three goals in a 12-minute span.
