In the second half, Prince Edward took charge of the game and Peter Carter leveled the match in the 52nd minute. Bryan Allen executed a corner low on the six yard box, Bryce Deitrich back heeled it to the far corner and Carter tapped it in from short distance.

Henry Kocevar crossed a ball from the right side and a Bulldog deflected it past his own goalkeeper and just like that the score was tied at two goals apiece.

Bryce Deitrich drilled a shot into the top right corner of the goal to give PE a 3-2 lead, and Kocevar saw his efforts rewarded in the 33rd minute.
