WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley suffered a tough 2-0 home defeat to American Int'l on Tuesday afternoon. The Yellow Jackets goals came from a penalty kick in the first half and a goal in the final seconds of the second half.

With the match scoreless late in the first half, AIC drew a foul in the penalty area and were awarded a penalty kick. Midfielder Yussif Salim was selected to take it, and he scored with a low shot to the left corner of the net.

Trailing 1-0, Bentley had the better of play in the second half and created sustained pressure over the final 10 minutes in search of the tying goal.

Bentley was awarded a corner kick with 43 seconds remaining and goalkeeper Eduardo Bomfim (Salvador, Brazil) came all the up to give the Falcons 10 players in the box.

However, AIC goalkeeper Lucas Morales-Fernandez intercepted the ball, and a quick transition down the other end of the pitch led to a Yellow Jackets goal by Christian Amaral with just six seconds remaining.

Bomfim finished the match with five saves. Ronan Fitzpatrick (Coventry, Conn./East Catholic), Evan Levine (Boca Raton, Fla./Olympic Heights), Yusuf Baig (Madison, Ga.) and Grant Larson (Camarillo, Calif.) played all 90 minutes for the Falcons.

AIC improved to 2-5-5 overall and 1-3-3 in NE10 play, and the Falcons dropped to 2-6-3 overall and 2-4-1 NE10.

The team's next match is on the road, on Saturday night at New Haven for a 7:00 PM kickoff.
