Later in the first half, Blanks Baldwin of Pearl and Corey Lange of Brandon both scored goals with assists coming from Dillon Walker of Pearl and Marcelo Lima of Fortaleza, Brazil respectively.

Hinds continued to pressure Pearl River during the second half, scoring two more goals to put the game out of reach. The two goals came from James Hoye of Canton and Adam Johnson of Huddersfield, England.
