The game remained tied until the second overtime, when freshman Kilian Jung scored off a well-executed play that sent the home fans away happy, courtesy of an assist from freshman Bruno Saucedo.

"We got the ball off a clearance," said Roadrunners Head Coach Jaime Beltran. "It was a play that we spent a lot of time working on, to switch from one side of the field to the other and attack the box. We had a couple of opportunities like that today and we wouldn't unleash the shot. I'm very proud of Kilian for recognizing the opportunity. Both of our goals were very similar. It's always very uplifting to see your team do something that you work on in practice."
