In the 36th, Jahlane Forbes carried the ball through traffic before picking out Emmanuel Uchegbu at the back post and sending in a cross for the Nigerian to head home. In the 68th, Brian Romero picked out an open Thiago Rodrigues in the midfield, who took a quick turn and ripped a shot from distance with his shot bouncing over the reach of the outstretched keeper. The Brazilian replicated his first of the night, combining again with Romero at near the same spot, getting off another left-footed strike that found its way over the goal line in the 86th.
