The initial corner didn't reach Lluch but eventually he found himself on the end of a pass from Charles Coulson and headed the ball home. Magnus Thorsson also assisted on the goal for his first of the season.

Through the first half and early on in the second half the Eagles defense had done a good job limiting Furman to just two shots but the Paladins caught a break in the 55^th minute when the Eagles were called for a handball in the box. The referee awarded a penalty kick as Kevin Pahl stepped in to take it and his shot hit the post but went right to Lewis Hawke as he put the rebound into the net to tie the game.
