While the Wave were able to provide a lot of defensive solidity in the first half, the second half was a shootout, as the Sidekicks were able to produce more pressure on the Wave defense and take advantage of the sixth attacker at the end of the contest.
It was an unfortunate handball outside of the box by goalkeeper Matt Perrella that allowed the Sidekicks to equalize in the last two minutes of the game. Shortly after that, it was another Sidekicks goal that eventually put them ahead of Milwaukee for the rest of the game.
