The Glendale College Vaqueros showed grit and resilience on Tuesday evening, rallying from a second-half deficit to earn a hard-fought 1-1 draw against visiting El Camino College at Sartoris Field. A late goal by Kevin Anjunyan, assisted by Eduard Yeghiazarov, salvaged a point for the Vaqueros and pushed their season record to 2-1-3.

Despite being outshot 20-7, Glendale made their chances count, showing defensive toughness and sharp counterattacking play. Goalkeeper Arvin Navasartian was outstanding between the posts, delivering a career-best performance with 13 saves on 14 shots on goal, including several diving stops that kept the Vaqueros within striking distance throughout the match.

El Camino opened the scoring in the 75th minute when Jaden Hancock capitalized on a loose ball in the box to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead. But Glendale responded with urgency, pushing numbers forward and increasing offensive pressure in the closing stages.

The breakthrough came in the 85th minute, when Yeghiazarov played a precise ball into the box, setting up Anjunyan, who calmly slotted it home to level the match. It was Anjunyan's first goal of the season and Yeghiazarov's first assist — both coming at a crucial moment for the Vaqueros.

Armen Kozanian once again created problems for opposing defenders, registering 3 shots on goal and providing a consistent attacking threat, while Albert Ghazaryan and Anjunyan each added quality efforts from midfield. Glendale finished with 6 shots on goal from 7 total attempts, demonstrating sharp efficiency in the attacking third.

On the defensive end, starters Erik Amirkhanyan, Michael Malolepszy, Johnathan Yanez, and Diego Lopez logged a full 90 minutes and helped limit El Camino's effectiveness despite the high shot volume. The back line, anchored by Navasartian, stood tall against repeated pressure, including 6 corners from the Warriors.

Both teams picked up yellow cards in a physical contest, but Glendale remained composed, committing just 7 fouls to El Camino's 9.
