The Hawks continued to attack keeping the ball in the attacking third of the field.  After a yellow card by Concord, Josh Baker sent in a cross finding the head of James Scott for the equalizing goal in the 65'.

The eventual game winner would not come too long after as Barkan Koeprueluegil slotted a pass over to Josh Baker at the top of the box finding the back of the net far post in the 71'.
