KANSAS CITY, Mo.\u00a0– The No. 24 Missouri State men’s soccer team fell to the No. 18\u00a0 Kansas City Roos on the road with a 2-1 scoreline\u00a0on Monday evening. An early goal by senior Ollie Bate<\/a> wasn’t enough to get the Bears over the line against an inspired Roos team.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Bears\u00a0(1-1)\u00a0faced early aggression by the Roos (1-0-1), who came out of the blocks strong, putting pressure on the Bears’\u00a0defense.\u00a0But in the eighth minute, MSU created an opening and Ollie Bate<\/a> found the net, scoring in the bottom-right corner, assisted by\u00a0American Conference Offensive Player of the Week\u00a0Fumiya Shiraishi<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Roos didn’t let this deter them from their aggressive play, however, and in the 11th minute, Jeremy Francou scored to equalize. Then shortly after, in the 15th minute, Bryson Gosch once again found the back of the net for Kansas City to go up, 2-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n Missouri State amped up its offense and pressed with seven shots to Kansas City’s five\u00a0before the intermission, with both teams shooting two shots on goal in the first half. However, the Roos\u00a0still went into the break retaining their\u00a02-1 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n While the Bears continued to fight all throughout the second half, the Roos proved too strong on defense,\u00a0denying MSU’s ample second-half shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n Statistically, MSU outshot the Roos, 15-5. The Bears also led with shots on goal,\u00a05-2.\u00a0Kansas City was led by a\u00a0superb goalkeeping performance by Marc Popow, who made four close saves. The Roos also applied pressure with physicality, committing 15 fouls to MSU’s nine. Kansas City also booked two yellow cards.\u00a0<\/p>\n The No. 24 Missouri State Bears’\u00a0will host\u00a0Tampa\u00a0at home at Betty & Bobby Allison South Stadium\u00a0on Thursday, Aug. 28, at 7:00 p.m.\u00a0Admission to all home games is free all season.\u00a0 #GoBears
