The host Saxons started fast against the Wolves with multiple shots on goal and corner kicks in the opening minutes. Their sixth shot would put Alfred on the board in the 14th minute. The Wolves rebounded and started to build the attack for themselves. Alfred continued to put shots on the Keuka goal. Carson Smith was called upon for four saves in the final seven minutes of the half to keep the game at 1-0 at the half.

The second half began like the first with Alfred attacking the Keuka goal. However, the Wolves were able to pull level against the run of play. The ball progressed into Keuka's attacking third. Liam Fitzpatrick sent a long throw into the box. Alfred failed to clear the ball, heading it deeper into the box. The ball found the foot of Alex Bernhardt near the left post and the senior went back across the goal to tie up the game. The Saxons had chances to close the game, but Keuka's defense was able to block any shot that may have been on goal. 90 minutes would end with Keuka and Alfred playing to a 1-1 draw.
