EDMONTON – In as wild a soccer game as you'll see in Canada West, the University of Calgary Dinos men's soccer team erased three deficits and found the equalizer in the seventh minute of extra time of a 4-4 draw versus the MacEwan Griffins on Saturday.

Before the dramatic late tying goal by William Omoreniye off a cross by Aidan Izadi, the Griffins lost a 3-1 lead while playing a man short due to a 61st-minute red card and valiantly regained a 4-3 advantage in the 82nd minute. 

They had a defensive save off the line in extra time, too, as Shameiks McLeod cleared Omoreniye's header that was heading inside the right post.

The result is extra tough for the Griffins because they failed to gain ground on the Dinos in the Prairie Division standings. While they still have two games in hand, their 2-6-2 record is still seven points back of Calgary's 4-5-3 mark.

Philip Masri continued his riveting rookie season for MacEwan with his fifth goal of the campaign to open the scoring in the 15th minute, slamming home a cross by Kayden Dugas with authority.

Dugas made it 2-0 for MacEwan in the 30th when he cruised up the middle and hit a perfect strike past Calgary keeper Liam Hunter for his first career Canada West goal. The rookie midfielder had himself a day but was forced to leave the game due to an injury in the 68th minute.

Calgary got on the board in the 34th minute when James Greco-Taylor converted a golden free kick from the top of the box that deflected off the wall and past MacEwan goalkeeper Marko Ilich.

But MacEwan wasted little time gaining a two-goal advantage as Masri struck again just over two minutes into the second half, knifing in a header off Nicolas Luczkiewicz's pass. The latter finished with two assists.

The Griffins were in control of the contest until Jakob Sievert was hit with a straight red card for a hard tackle at midfield and ejected, sending MacEwan down to 10 men for the final 30 minutes and change.

The moment gave the Dinos life as Omoreniye and Izadi scored 71st and 76th-minute goals to tie the contest.

That, in turn, woke up the Griffins, who got back on the front foot and regained the lead in the 82nd on Abass Ajibade's header goal off Antony Caceres' corner kick.

But the late goal by Calgary gave both teams a point.

The Dinos remain in Edmonton on Sunday and face the Alberta Golden Bears at 2:15 p.m., while the Griffins will host Mount Royal.
