Sky Blue FC tied the game in 55th minute as England forward Eniola Aluko blasted a right foot shot from 15 yards into the left side of the net. Both teams had great scoring opportunities ove the next 20 minutes. In the 77th minute, a lead pass by midfielder Sophie Schmidt to an open area beyond midfield was volleyed by Wambach over the head of goalkeeper Kristin Arnold who was already 16 yards off her line to give them a 2-1 lead. Aluko responded back with a ten-yard score after dribbling by two defenders in the 84th minute. Just one minute later midfielder Lisa DeVanna crossed a ball from the right side into the middle of the box where USA midfielder Megan Rapinoe redirected a head ball from six yards out into the left side of the net to clinch the victory.
