At halftime, the score was 0-1.

In the third quarter, Robert Kristo scored his second of the game at the six-minute mark. Six minutes later, Sidekicks responded with their first goal in the game the goal by Nestor Hernandez with the assist by Albert Rodriguez.  Going into the fourth quarter, the score was 1-2.
