The Scots would get on the board first in the opening half as Stuart Bramley snuck a shot by goalkeeper Matt McKenna at the 10:09 mark. Despite 18 first half shots by the Cougars, they were unable to get on the board until a free kick by Dale McCormack found the back of the net in the 41^st minute. Coming out of the halftime break, neither defense gave the opposition much to work with offensively. Columbia was whistled for a hand ball in the penalty box in the 23^rd minute of the second period and Lyon's Jack Hayes would convert the kick for a 2-1 Scots lead. The Cougars evened things up less than nine minutes later when Rafael Ramos put in a cross from Zach Oppland to tie it at 2-2. The tie score would hold up over the remainder of regulation and send the contest into overtime.
