New York doubled their lead in the 25th minute, after a corner delivered in Hartford's eighteen-yard box found the foot of Frankie Amaya, who volleyed the ball off the post and defender Aaron Long was there to tap in the rebound.

Hartford answered back in the 52nd minute, when midfielder Danny Barrera played a ball from a free-kick to the top of New York's eighteen-yard box and midfielder Conor McGlynn fired a shot to the bottom left corner.
