Playing under lights in extremely windy conditions at Morsehead Park last night, the Vikings scored the last two goals of the match to secure its third win in a row.
Having conceded the first goal 15 minutes into the Football Federation Victoria state league five match, Sebastopol quickly gathered its composure to equalise via Paul McClounan on 30 minutes.
"We were probably second best until then," said coach Michael Busija.
With the scores 1-1 at the half, it took little more than a minute for Luke Terrill to put the home side in front, with Sebastopol kicking into the howling gale.
However Lara responded almost immediately, before Marcus Lynch kicked the sealer at the 65-minute mark.
Busija said his side was starting to gel again after a lean period in which it lost four out of five matches.
"Over the last few weeks we've had a consistent starting 11, which always helps," he said.
"It's the first time we've come from behind and won so it's another thing we know we can do."
Sebastopol now sits in fifth position on the table, with the remainder of the matches to be played out over the weekend.
