BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Brooklyn FC Women settled for a point after a late equalizer saw Dallas Trinity earn a 1–1 draw on Saturday.
The result left seventh-place Brooklyn FC with a 6-11-8 record and 26 points in the USL Gainbridge Super League. Fourth-place Dallas (33) moved to 9-10-6.
Brooklyn controlled large stretches of the match and created the better chances throughout the first half, with forwards Catherine Zimmerman and Rebecca Cooke both testing the Dallas goalkeeper Tyler McCamey, while Brooklyn goalkeeper Kelsey Daugherty came up with key saves to keep the match scoreless heading into the break.
The breakthrough finally came in the 79th minute. Midfielder Jessica Garziano found midfielder Rylan Childers in space outside the box. Childers struck a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner to give Brooklyn a 1–0 lead.
The hosts looked set to see out the result, remaining organized defensively and limiting Dallas to a few clear chances.
In the 90th minute, however, Dallas found a late equalizer. Forward Allie Thornton delivered a pass into the box to forward Camryn Lancaster, who finished with a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner to level the match.
