October 15, 2025 | Men's Soccer
CORVALLIS – The No. 23 Oregon State men's soccer team earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against No. 4 Portland Wednesday evening at Paul Lorenz Field in Corvallis, Ore.
Â
The match was played before a Lorenz Field record of 1,471 fans, after a sell-out was called earlier in the day.
Â
Fran Cortijo scored the lone Beaver goal, opening the scoring in the 14th minute. Arnau Farnos and Andrew De Gannes both tallied assists on the strike.
Â
As a team, Oregon State out-shot Portland 14-8 in the match, and held a 6-5 advantage on corner kicks.
Â
With the tie, OSU moves to 6-3-2 on the campaign, while the Pilots stay undefeated at 9-0-3. The two sides remain deadlocked atop the WCC standings with matching 2-0-2 conference records.
Â
The Beavers created the first scoring chance of the match within the first four minutes of action, as Nico Nee forced a save with a shot from the top of the box. Oregon State went in front in the 14th, as Corijo slotted one home from tight angle off a cross that made it all the way across the Portland goal.
Â
Farnos nearly netted the Beavers second of the match in the 22nd minute, as a beautiful interchange down the left flank led to a ball into the box that found the midfielder six yards from goal. The Pilot keeper reacted quickly to maintain the one-goal deficit.
Â
The Pilots leveled the score in the 29th minute when a scramble in the box resulted with the ball in the Oregon State net. The teams headed to the intermission level at one.
Â
Neither side was able to create a clear-cut scoring chance in the opening phase of the second half. The Pilots created some momentum in the middle portion of the period, coming up with a handful of scoring opportunities.
Â
The two sides kept working through the final minutes of the match, but could not end a breakthrough as the contest ended in a stalemate.
Â
The Beavers will be back in action this weekend when they head to Spokane for a Saturday matchup with Gonzaga.
