Nigerian international, Brown Ideye, for the second time in just a few days scored a late winner in West Bromwich Albion 2-1 win over Richmond Kickers 2-1 in Virginia.
The Baggies last time ran away with a 2-1 victory over Charleston Battery.
James McClean’s spectacular opener from 25 yards looked to have proved the difference after just 14 minutes for a superior Albion side.
But five minutes from time, Nate Shiffman’s volley levelled matters.
Albion were reduced to 10 men when Olsson hobbled off and Gareth McAuley was not allowed to return with Tony Pulis having already utilised all 20 players at his disposal.
Substitute Ideye headed an 89th-minute clincher from Stephane Sessegnon’s cross as Albion had the last laugh.
Play was halted for one hour with just five minutes on the clock due to a thunder storm over the City.
Pulis introduced Ideye, Sessegnon, Craig Gardner and James Morrison six minutes into the second half.
But Ideye again came to Albion’s rescue heading home Sessegnon’s back-post cross with just a minute remaining.
