  • (1-1) DS: The Roadunners notched their first score of the evening in the 68' following a free kick granted to Kazuma Ishizuka that almost found its way into the goal but was saved by UT Southern goalie Ajay Murray, leading Dalton State's Juan Demichelis capitalizing on the deflection.
  • (2-1) DS: DS would conclude all scoring of the day in the 84' after receiving a penalty kick of their own, leading to Matheus Fineto Gamileira delivering the game-clinching tally.
