HALF BREAKDOWN

Erik Alqvist (Helsingborg, Sweden/Hittarps IK Football Club) looked to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead in the 29' after creating some space but his shot did not find the back of the net. Moments later in the 37'
Mikey Revell (Largo, Maryland/Bishop McNamara) found an opening as well but he was unsuccessful on the shot attempt to keep it scoreless.
Robert Gorodnickis (Riga, Latvia/Riga) was able to break through in the 40' as he found an opening and the back of the net for his first career goal at Lewis to make it 1-0.
Truman tried to tie it right before the half in the closing minute but its shot went out top right.
Second Half: Truman State 1, Lewis 1
Asore looked to double the lead for Lewis in the 52' but his shot went out top left. Perez had a scoring opportunity in the 59' after finding an opening but Truman's goalie saved it to keep it 1-0 Lewis.
The Bulldogs had a scoring chance looking for the tie in the 76' but Doppelhofer recorded his lone save in the match to keep the score the way it was.
