With 90 seconds left in the first half Josh Kenig slotted in a goal off a pass from Alejandro Preud'homme-Cerda. The Express would end the first half with 19 shots.

Leading two goals to none, the Express continued their inspiring play with a Zion Julien score at the 52:40 mark, which was one of his three on the afternoon. Shortly after, Sandoval kicked in his second score pushing the lead four goals to zero. Monroe-Bronx's Marc Peris and Ignacio Errejon joined in on the scoring action with one goal a piece. Julien capped off his career game with a goal at the 68:57 mark and with 10 seconds left in the contest, to finish off the hat trick.
