The Louisville Cardinals have had some great moments this year so far. The football team has been crushing it in the early part of the year as they are 2-0 and have scored over 100 points on offense. Basketball season looks like it will be better this year too once that rolls around.

Louisville's men's soccer team is ranked in the top 25 and they are looking to have a great season. On Monday night, they took on their hated rival Kentucky. The Wildcats are also ranked in the top 25 and were playing the Cardinals at home in Lexington so they expected to get a win.

Instead, the Wildcats stayed home with a loss after the Louisville Cardinals won the game 1-0. What made it so dramatic was the fact that the Cardinals scored a goal in the 89th and second-to-last minute of the game so Kentucky had no chance to make a comeback.

Freshman Leon Kondic scored the game's only goal at the end of the game. Take a look at the goal he scored below.

It was an extremely impressive goal, especially for it to happen at the end of the game. Anytime you can beat the Wildcats, it's a good day. That's especially true for Kondic, who has his first big moment as a Cardinal. That's a really nice way to get your first season started.
