In the 29th minute, Ryan Sierakowski dribbled down the right flank and delivered a cross to the left side of the box to Cristian Ojeda, whose header fell to Brayan Hurtado but his bicycle-kick attempt missed to the right of the post. Three minutes later, Nathan Smith's cross from the left wing found Hurtado, whose headed attempt from close range missed the target.

Orange County doubled its advantage to 2-0 in the 54th minute after Darwin Jones tapped in Seaton's pass at the far post.
Portland cut into Orange County's lead in the 59th minute when Nathan Smith delivered a low cross to the back post to Ojeda, whose shot forced Orange County goalkeeper Frederick Due to parry it off the line. The ensuing rebound fell to Calixtro, whose shot from the left side of the box was flicked in by Langsdorf at the far post to make it 2-1. With seven goals scored in USL Championship play, Langsdorf shares the team lead.
Continuing on the attack, Smith took a shot from distance that just missed over the crossbar in the 64th minute. Two minutes later, Smith's cross from the right wing found Langsdorf inside the box, but his header missed over the top right corner.
