Renowned scorer Alencar Junior tallied in his Seacoast United Phantoms debut, giving his squad a 1-1 comeback draw against the Western Mass Pioneers in Saturday’s season opener at Portsmouth High School in Portsmouth, N.H.<\/p>\n

Junior, who played for the Pioneers from 2013-14, scored a 75th minute equalizer to rescue a point for the hosts. Chris Roswess opened the scoring in the 55th minute by converting on a Maxi Vieira pass.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m happy with the result,” Pioneers head coach Federico Molinari said in a club release following the match. “I see improvements that we need, but to get a point at a tough opponent is critical.”<\/p>\n

Junior nearly netted the game-winner in the 85th minute when he smacked a shot off the bar.<\/p>\n

With the draw, the Phantoms (0-0-1) and Pioneers (0-0-1) each earned their first point of the PDL season.<\/p>\n

The Phantoms return to action on Wednesday for a first-round U.S. Open Cup tie against Southie FC in Revere, Mass.<\/p>\n

The Pioneers will be back on the pitch on Saturday, May 14 to face the Long Island Rough Riders in South Huntington, N.Y.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
