FC Tulsa struck first in first-half stoppage time. In the 45+1', a ball played into a crowded penalty area led to a scramble in front of goal, where #7 Remi Cabral found the finishing touch to give the hosts a 1-0 advantage heading into halftime.

Trailing by a goal, the Switchbacks came out with renewed energy in the second half and quickly found an equalizer. In the 55', #97 Patrick Burner battled through three Tulsa defenders inside the box and attempted a shot on goal. The ball deflected off the back of #90 Khori Bennett's foot and fell to #27 Juan Tejada, who calmly directed it across the goal line to level the match at 1-1.

Just four minutes later, the Switchbacks completed the comeback. Tejada drove the ball through the middle of the field before being brought down by a Tulsa defender. The ball continued to the left flank, where #7 Jonas Fjeldberg collected it and finished the attack, scoring the eventual match-winner in the 59'.

Colorado Springs controlled much of the match, finishing with 55% possession while recording 11 interceptions and 278 accurate passes. Their resilience and second-half surge secured a valuable three points on the road.
