After two Golden Rams goals 2:22 apart in the opening 12:15 of the second half, Jackson Kiss (Warrington, Pa./Archbishop Wood) scored in a second match in a row to halve the deficit with 23:42 remaining.  
 
Hugo Gutierrez (Valladolid, Spain/Nuestra Señora del Lourdes), who assisted Kiss' goal, then had an opportunity to equalize saved with an even 29 minutes on the clock.
