At half time, the Lions and the Badgers were tied nil-nil.
 
In the second half, York took over the lead early on as midfielder Morelli, scored in the first minute of the half. At the 65th minute, Morelli and Lamanna combined again for the second and final goal of the game, which was also Morelli's fourth goal of the season.
