Hull City vs Ipswich: Enciso's late strike leaves both sides with a point

Julio Enciso arrived late to a game that had already swung twice and kept Ipswich alive in a 2-2 draw with Hull City. His 74th-minute strike into the top corner cancelled out Oliver McBurnie's 68th-minute free kick, after Florentino Luís and Tim Iroegbunam had traded goals earlier in the second half.

The comeback pattern keeps showing up

Florentino Luís opened the scoring in the 22nd minute for his first Premier League goal, and Hull turned the match around after the break. Iroegbunam levelled in the 58th minute after being released by McBurnie, then McBurnie bent in a free kick of his own, his first direct free-kick goal in the Premier League.

Enciso's equaliser made the late phase feel less like a collapse and more like another entry in Ipswich's habit of fighting back. They have now taken eight points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, the best mark in the competition. Enciso has scored two Premier League goals this season, and this was the one that mattered most on the night.

Hull's run and the wider warning signs

Sky Sports reporter William Bitibiri summed up the mood after the match: "There was plenty to admire about Hull's second-half response, but there is a nagging feeling they are in danger of letting some of that early-season goodwill slip away."

He also noted: "Hull have now gone seven league games without a win after taking maximum points from their first two." The independent.co.uk account refers to an eight-game run, but the Sky Sports report says seven league games without a win, and the draw did little to quiet the concern around Hull's momentum.

The match did at least show Hull can still create pressure in spells. They led, fell behind, and led again, but could not close it out at the MKM Stadium. Enciso's late finish left Hull City vs Ipswich as another reminder that a strong start means little if the results stop coming, and Hull are still waiting for a win after seven league games without one.
