Midway through the second half, Victor DeGiorgio collected a pass from Ricardo Andrade and guided a shot into the far side of the UIndy net for a 2-1 lead in the 61st minute. The Saints looked to close out the game but UIndy found an equalized at the 79-minute mark. With overtime looming, Riggio took a corner-kick pass from Sengl and headed in the game-winning goal with just over eight minutes to play to give the Saints the thrilling victory.
