The Golden Eagles had several good chances in the first half, including a shot by Herbert Biste that hit the crossbar in the 22^nd minute. The Gators began generating some pressure late in the half and had a header by Max Talbert off a corner kick cleared away by a Cal State LA defender.
 
The Golden Eagles then weathered a bit of a storm in the early stages of the second half before striking for the game-winner. A header by Talbert hit the crossbar in the 67^th minute.
 
Cal State LA struck for the only goal of the game in the 79^th minute. A shot by Bucio was saved by Jimenez, but Dumlao was there to put in the rebound and give the Golden Eagles the lead.
