Brooklyn would strike first midway through the first half, as Emir Imamberdiev would fine the back of the net at 24' for the 1-0 lead.

Wilson Munoz would finally be tested towards the ends of the first half with a shot down the bottom center of the goal at 40', but he would record the easy save to keep it 1-0 into halftime.
