Figueroa buried his face in his hands after mishandling Trent Kone-Doherty’s left-wing cross, unintentionally collecting it with his stomach before it struck the right post.
Just before being substituted for Victor Musa, the dynamic Lacey skillfully curled a shot towards the left post, only for Pecsi to make an impressive diving save. Shortly afterward, Obi unleashed a powerful right-footed shot from a tight angle, prompting Pecsi to tip it away for another corner for United.
Binnion’s team demonstrated strong attacking intent, surging forward with increased pace in the 80th minute. Tyler Fletcher and Scanlon quickly combined, sending Mantato racing down the left wing. He pulled the ball back for Obi, whose shot was deflected by Pecsi. Right-back Kamason, whose presence in the box showed United’s determination to attack, calmly finished the rebound.
United could have further increased their lead, with substitute Musa forcing another excellent save from Pecsi with a shot from the edge of the area, followed by Dan Armer heading over from the subsequent corner.
