The visitors started the game in dominant form, racking up 14 shots in the first half and forcing Fire goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth into nine saves.
The ball just avoided the wall of Fire players in front of Barreal, curling around them and sneaking in just to the right of the goalpost for Barreal’s first goal of the season.
Conceding seemingly inspired the Fire to take control of the match, with the hosts now creating opportunities at a quick pace.
The Fire thought they finally got the equalizer in the second minute of stoppage time, but Beric’s attempt was ruled offside after a VAR check.
