Down twice, Kickers rescued by Emiliano Terzaghi double before a stunning winner from Jonathan Bolanos sealed all three points for the hosts

RICHMOND, Va. - The Richmond Kickers earned their first win in the last four games thanks to a twice-from-behind comeback that saw Emiliano Terzaghi peg twice before Jonathan Bolanos won it for the hosts in the second half.

It was North Texas SC who got the game going, though, with Kazu's strike in the 26th minute first separating the two sides. Eight minutes later, the Kickers worked their way back into the game as Terzaghi scored his first of the evening in the form of a clever back heel following Juan Pablo Monticelli's cross. Looking to respond with confidence, the visitors would re-establish their lead just before the end of the first half as Jorge Almaguer threw his name in the 'goal of the season' contenders ring with a rocket to the far post.

Not waiting to hit the gas coming out of the break, Richmond earned a penalty five minutes after the restart, and Terzaghi again came answering the call by sending North Texas SC 'keeper Colin Stutler the wrong way to pull his side level. With both sides poking and prodding as the second half wore on, it took an audacious effort from Jonathan Bolanos to win it for Richmond, with the halftime substitute launching a looping effort over Stutler to settle the game for the hosts.

The Kickers now have a two-week break before hosting Fort Lauderdale CF on July 17, while North Texas returns home to face Forward Madison FC next Saturday.
