Mozingo’s late equalizer for Utah spoils DeMelo’s return for Louisville in 1-1 draw

Late in stoppage time, a goal by Brecken Mozingo secured a 1-1 draw for the Utah Royals against Racing Louisville on Saturday. This match marked the return of Savannah DeMelo for Louisville, who had collapsed during a game last season due to undiagnosed cardiac arrhythmia. DeMelo came on as a substitute in stoppage time during this game.

Louisville took the lead early, with Katie O'Kane scoring a penalty kick in the 42nd minute. The penalty was awarded after video review determined that Utah midfielder Madison Hammond had fouled Louisville defender Arin Wright. Mozingo secured a point for Utah with a late equalizer.

This victory marked Louisville's first win in six games, ending a losing streak. DeMelo's return to action was her greatest accomplishment in her soccer career, as she recently revealed that her collapse was due to an undiagnosed cardiac arrhythmia. For Racing Louisville, this result marked a first win in their inaugural season.
