Shaun Francis and Paul Farinosi connected for second-half goals Saturday as Ansbach rallied from a 1-0 halftime hole and ended a two-year victory drought with a 2-1 non-regional triumph over visiting Mannheim.

Farinosi assisted on Francis’ equalizer, then took a pass from Dwayne Jones to ram home the winner, the first on the field for Ansbach since 2007. The last time the Cougars won was a 1-0 forfeit triumph from defunct Hanau on May 10, 2008.

This time it was Mannheim’s turn to extend a losing streak. The Bison, who got their goal from Richard Santiago, fell to 0-6-0.
