"There were a lot of good performances from our players tonight," SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell said.

The assist also marked Forbes' seventh of the season, tying midfielder Carlos Alvarez's tally for the club's all-time lead. The Turks and Caicos native has scored nine goals this season and is tied with midfielder Rafa Castillo for the all-time lead in goals scored as well.
