Muniz Helps Fulham Salvage Late Point Against Brighton In EPL Curtain-Raiser
Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz scored in added time to secure a dramatic draw against Brighton in the EPL curtain-raiser on August 16. Muniz capitalized on a corner delivery from Tom Cairney to level the contest in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Brighton had taken the lead through Matt Riley's penalty conversion in the first half after a mistake by Fulham's midfielder. Despite Brighton's dominance in possession, Lewis Dunk and Brajan Gruda missed chances to extend their lead.
Fulham, under Marco Silva, showed persistence and determination, collecting 22 points from losing positions since the previous campaign. The result denied Brighton a routine victory and highlighted Fulham's ability to compete at the highest level.
The late rally by Fulham added drama and uncertainty to the EPL season opener.
