Austin Pack kept the score sheet clean with multiple saves, especially late in the first half.
During a 7th minute scramble for the ball Bazini capitalized on an AV Alta FC miscue to tap the ball over the line for a quick 1-0 lead. But he wasn’t done there, 9 minutes later in the 16th minute he took an excellent feed from Jonathan Nyandjo for a nice poke-in goal, doubling the lead to 2-0. That would be the end of all scoring for the day on both sides as Tormenta’s defense clamped down early and often, allowing Austin Pack to have a pretty quiet night.
