CT United started the match on the front foot, nearly finding the opener twice within the first six minutes. In the 42nd minute, Jakupovic finished from the center of the box after receiving a pass from Kellan LeBlanc, giving Union II a 1–0 lead heading into the break.

The second half began much like the first, with CT United maintaining possession and pushing forward in search of an equalizer. The pressure paid off in the 57th minute when Goddard volleyed home a right-footed finish off an assist from Robbie Mora to level the match at 1–1.

Momentum shifted further in CT United’s favor just minutes later when Philadelphia’s Oscar Benítez Cobo was sent off in the 61st minute after receiving his second yellow card.

The visitors continued to press their advantage and found the decisive moment late in the match. In the 86th minute, substitute Dylan Lacy delivered a long ball forward to Barnabas Tanyi, who calmly finished into the left corner to give CT United a 2–1 lead.
