North Brunswick is reported to have taken the lead in the 22nd minute, with Chris Licona finishing after a pass from Derick Alvarez-Enrique. The early advantage gave the visitors a strong platform in the non-conference contest.
Kearny responded before half-time. Colin McKenna reportedly levelled in the 30th minute, ensuring the home side entered the break with the game still in reach. That equaliser proved important, preventing North Brunswick from turning its fast start into sustained control.
The match remained level until the closing phase, when Kearny reportedly found the decisive breakthrough. Vitor Denadai scored in the 71st minute to put the hosts ahead for the first time.
McKenna then completed his brace four minutes later, reportedly confirming the 3-1 scoreline in the 75th minute. The timing of the goals turned a competitive match into a clear result and highlighted Kearny’s ability to maintain pressure after falling behind.
Kolton Gryckiewicz is also reported to have made 10 saves, a contribution that helped Kearny protect its lead after the turnaround.
For Kearny, the comeback offers evidence of resilience: the team conceded first but produced three unanswered goals. McKenna’s two-goal performance gives the attack a clear focal point, while Denadai’s goal supplied the moment that changed the contest.
North Brunswick faces a more urgent problem. A promising opening was followed by four unanswered goals, and the reported five-game losing run leaves little margin for another slow recovery.
Kearny will now aim to carry the momentum into its next fixture, while North Brunswick’s response in the coming match will be the next test of its season.
