A much tighter defense was shown today by Luton Town, although the still surrendered an early goal.

13 minutes into the first half, UCD AFC scored their only goal on a great cross that landed inside the 6 yard box. Luton Town LB Scott Griffiths attempted to clear the ball, but glanced off his foot and into the net for an own goal.

UCD AFC dominated possessions holding the ball for 60% of the game, but could not muster any other goals.

With Luton Town fearful of a second straight defeat, CM Solomon Taiwo was able to beat his marker to the left of the box and sent a blistering cross to the right side of the 6 yard box where ST Mark Cullen beat his defender and headed the ball into the upper right hand corner of the net, just out of the reach of the goaltender.

With the draw, Luton Town is now 0-1-1 in preseason friendlies.

It was announced after the game that starting CAM Jim Stevenson would miss the league opener with a quad injury. He is likely to miss 2-3 weeks.
