The onslaught continued into the second half when Jake Kuzmick collected a loose ball in the 53^rd minutes and whipped a shot off the post for a 3-0 lead. Five minutes later, Atta-Krah found a loose ball on the penalty spot and turned it into the net to extend the Knights' lead further.

In addition to his one goal, one assist performance, Duopu led with five shots, one on goal.
