In the fifteenth minute Kino Ryosuke would strike again for the Tigers, scoring his third goal of the game, giving the Tigers a 4-0 lead.

The Tigers refused to let up in the second half, as again the team was able to strike fast and add a goal in the first few minutes of play. David Kromah connected with Rafael Vacas in the forty-seventh minute of the game to extend the Tiger lead to six. The final twenty minutes of play saw goals from Torachio Machida, Andre Luis, another goal by David Kromah, and two goals by Bruno Osorio. The Eagles Dario Gonzalez scored in the eighty-eighth minute to finish the game 11-1. Tiger goalkeeper Juan Gonzalez played all ninety minutes and recorded one save on the day.
"The team played great right from the start," stated Coach Chris Fuchsen after the game, "it was a great team performance all the way through. We had the right combination of intensity, focus and quality in execution from the start of the game all the way to the final whistle."
