United gave up a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 away at Woochu Sports Arena on Saturday.

 

We started brightly and took the lead in the 32nd minute through Tsenda, who chipped the ball in from close range after a brilliant pass from Abayomi. It was Tsenda’s first league goal of the season and the 63rd for the club.

 

Phurba Tenzin doubled United’s lead just before halftime with a screamer, putting the ball in the top corner from just outside the box. A contender for goal of the season.

 

Paro FC pulled one back in the 59th minute after some sloppy defending from United left three Paro players unmarked in the box, with one heading home.

 

United’s hopes of victory were further dented when Dicka was sent off for a straight red card in the 60th minute. Coach Pema was forced to make a substitution, bringing on Phuntsho Jigme to shore up the defense in place of Phurba Tenzin.

Paro FC equalized in the 79th minute after United failed to clear a dangerous ball in the box. Despite playing with 10 men, United held on for a draw in the remaining minutes.

 

“Not a great day at the office, but we will take the point away from a difficult ground,” said Coach Pema.

 

United’s next match is against RTC FC on Sunday, May 26th at Changlimithang.

In pic: Abayomi whose sleek footwork created the first goal of the day.
