Diallo scores twice and Kiefer adds a goal and two assists
TAMPA, Fla. (October 18, 2026) – South Florida men's soccer tied Temple, 3-3, on Sunday night at Corbett Stadium.
Aaron Sullivan scored in the 79th minute off assists from Anthony Perez and Quint Van Roij to pull the Owls (2-8-3, 1-4-1) even with the Bulls (1-10-3, 0-4-2), erasing a 3-2 South Florida lead built on two first-half goals from Serigne Diallo and a goal and two assists from Max Kiefer.
Temple struck first when Syed Taimoor Hussain scored in the 13th minute, but the Bulls answered quickly. Diallo tied it in the 16th minute off assists from Kiefer and Jakob Auby, and Kiefer put South Florida in front, 2-1, with his first goal of the season in the 20th minute. Diallo added his second of the night in the 29th minute, assisted by Kiefer and Abeselom Zemenfes, to make it 3-1.
Temple's Carlos Rojas would score in the 31st minute to cut the deficit to 3-2. The Bulls carried that lead into the break and outshot the Owls, 11-4, in the first half. Marcus Steinhaeuser denied Hussain in the 72nd minute to preserve the one-goal lead, but Temple broke through in the 79th minute when Sullivan found the net to level the match.
The Bulls continued to push for a winner. Tyler Richardson forced a save from Gavin Atkinson in the 83rd minute, Pedro Faife sent an attempt wide right in the 88th and Richardson had a shot blocked in the 89th. South Florida finished with a 19-10 advantage in shots and an 8-6 edge in shots on goal, while Temple held an 8-4 advantage in corner kicks.
