Sacramento got on the board first in the 13th minute when Jordan McCrary found Enevoldsen to give the home side a 1-0 lead. The defender was streaking down the far side when he sent a pass into the area that Enevoldsen tapped past Tacoma goalkeeper Trey Muse. Enevoldsen set up the second goal by leaving a ball near the top of the area for Cameron Iwasa, who blasted a shot into the left corner of the net in first-half stoppage time.

The final goal of the evening came from the foot of Enevoldsen, as he completed his brace to give Sacramento a 3-0 advantage. Iwasa made a run into the area before sending a ball across the box to the foot of Enevoldsen, who tapped in his second goal of the contest.

Eight players under the age of 20 saw action for Tacoma tonight, including one First Team player in Muse.
