VENUE
Hoops Family Field • Huntington, West Virginia
GAME FLOW
• Marshall created the first dangerous scoring opportunity in the 11th minute as Alexander Adjetey rifled a left-footed shot off the left post.
• Less than two minutes later, Adjetey was alone on the left flank with only Lukas Burns to beat, but sailed his shot high over the crossbar.
• The Friars earned their first set piece of the day in the 18th minute. Luis Garcia served the ball into the box and it was headed out, directly into the feet of Miguel Candela. Candela's shot from outside the top of the box was saved by Marshall goalkeeper Oliver Semmle.
• The first 45 minutes of play was a scoreless draw (0-0).

• In the 50th minute, Marshall earned its third corner kick of the game. Burns was well positioned at the far-right post, where Pedro Dolabella placed a header.
• Marshall scored in the 56th minute to take a 1-0 lead as Adjetey converted a crossing pass from Milo Yosef on a counterattack.
• Prior to the goal, Paulo Lima fed a pass to a streaking Candela at the left post, which was quickly scooped up by the goalkeeper and sent down the field for the counter.

• The Friars earned four corner kicks in a span of just over eight minutes, but the Friars were unable to find the equalizer.
• Candela finally got the Friars on the board in the 85th minute to level the game, 1-1. Gil Santos delivered a pass to the top of the box after a throw-in. Candela settled the ball and tucked his strike inside the right post.
