• In the 34th minute, Henry Balf sent a through ball from the top of the box to Lewis

Normesinu gathered it with little pressure and sent the ball to the top of the net at 73:24 for the 1-0 Eagles advantage.
• The Bulls nearly tied it on a set piece in the 84th minute after Ampadu was issued a yellow card. South Florida hesitated on the free kick and blasted it towards BC netminder Alex Kapp and the ball ricocheted off an Eagle and sailed only a couple feet high of the crossbar.
