Notre Dame Scored Twice in Final Five Minutes to Defeat Michicagn

Notre Dame produced one of Sunday’s most dramatic finishes, scoring twice in the final five minutes to beat Michigan, 2-to-1, at Alumni Stadium.

Michigan struck first at 20:09. Duilio Herrera headed home a set-piece opportunity, with Joao Paulo Ramos and Austin Su receiving the assists.

That 1-nothing lead lasted deep into the second half.

At 85:33, video review resulted in a Notre Dame penalty kick, and Ian Shaul converted from the spot for his first goal of the season.

Then, only 2 minutes and 44 seconds later, Notre Dame completed the comeback.

At 88:17, Michael Capretto delivered a ball toward the far post, and Nate Zimmermann headed it into the net for his first goal of the year and the game-winner.

Notre Dame finished with a 19-to-7 advantage in shots, although Michigan put six of its seven attempts on goal.

That made goalkeeper Blake Kelly particularly important. Kelly recorded five saves while allowing only Herrera’s first-half goal.
