The Cougars combined early attacking pressure with strong defensive play to take control of the game and never looked back.

The scoring opened early when, just four minutes into the match, Graham Burgess delivered a well-placed assist to Ryker Allen, who found the back of the net to give the Cougars a 1–0 lead.

In the second half, the Cougars continued to create opportunities. A penalty kick opportunity was denied by the West keeper, but North stayed aggressive. Goalkeeper Crosby Grizzle made a highlight-reel save midway through the half, preserving the Cougars’ lead and shifting momentum back in their favor. Great hustle plays made by Graham Burgess to continue Cougar possession.

The offense continued to roll as Diego Cuberos found the net with 13 minutes remaining. Shortly after, Sergio added his fourth goal of the night, showcasing his finishing ability. With five minutes left, Emiliano recorded another assist, helping extend the lead even further. The final goal came off a quick through ball from Ben Peiffer to Sergio, who capped off an incredible performance with his fifth goal of the match.
