The Royals once again took it to the Warriors in the second half drawing a red card on a last man foul as they would finish the game up a man. That led to even more chances for the Royals as they added to their lead in the 59th minute as Marc Trejo scored his first of the season to make it 2-0. Later in the game Loredo-Suarez would score again on a solo run into the box to increase the Royals advantage to 3-0. The Royals backline also stood tall and didn't let the Warriors get off many shots as the Royals emerged victorious 3-0. Lewis Blanton recorded one save in the win.
