With 16 minutes left in the 1^st half, #15 Ben Knight opens the scoring after being rewarded a penalty kick to put the Kodiaks up 1-0. Minutes later, Lions #7 Aristotle Cruz ties the game at 1 apiece after Ambrose received a penalty kick of their own which they capitalized on. With both teams being up in each other's face for the better part of the first half of the game, the Kodiaks and Lions went into halftime tied 1-1.

15 minutes into the 2^nd half #14 Hayden Devoy gives the Kodiaks the 2-1 lead after picking the bottom right corner on the Lions goalkeeper. The Kodiaks continued to dominate the 2^nd half as #18 TJ Bodunrin scored after receiving a beautiful pass from #15 Ben Knight. In the final minute of the game #5 Kofi Assuming seals the deal on the victory after a great goal assisted by #24 Charlie Block.
