Behind a 88th moment strike from graduate midfielder Arnau Vilamitjana, the No. 4-positioned Pitt men's soccer group staggered No. 7 North Carolina, 2-1, Saturday night at Dorrance Field in House of prayer Slope, N.C.
The triumph snapped Pitt's (11-3-0, 5-1-0 ACC) two-match series of failures, while moving the Jaguars into sole ownership of the lead position in the ACC with only two standard season matches remaining. Furthermore, Saturday's success worked on the Jaguars to an ideal 5-0 against positioned rivals this season.
Of note, Pitt has outscored its positioned rivals by a 11-2 edge, while holding three (then-No. 16 Georgetown, then, at that point No. 17 Virginia Tech and afterward No. 6 Denver) scoreless.
After the different sides played to a 1-1 draw over the initial 80 minutes of activity, Pitt started to pressure the Tar Heels' (8-2-4, 3-2-1 ACC) back line down the stretch, bringing about a few close to scoring valuable open doors.
With just shy of three minutes remaining, Vilamitjana, a local of Girona, Spain, got a pass from senior midfielder Guilherme Feitosa right inside the crate. Vilamitjana then, at that point, terminated a right-footed strike, past the goalkeeper, towards the far post for his second count of the challenge.
The Pumas hung on protectively until the end of the match, getting their fifth ACC win and improving to 5-1 away from Ambrose Urbanic Field this season.
