Chicago set the tone early, as Homegrown midfielder Robert Turdean opened the scoring with an assist from forward Dean Boltz just before the quarter hour mark. The lead then doubled as winger Darris Hyte scored off a corner kick by winger Damian Nigg.

Huntsville had a chance to respond with a penalty won before halftime, but the attempt was saved by Academy goalkeeper Jason Nemo Jr. Boltz then got on the end of an ensuing counter attack to extend the advantage to 3-0 heading into halftime.

In the second half, CFII controlled the tempo and limited chances while continuing to generate scoring opportunities. Chicago's dominance was capped deep into stoppage time when winger Tidiane Diawara finished a penalty shot to seal the 4-0 result.
