THE MATCH

Bethel steadily gained more possession and opportunities as the half wound down, resulting in a goal just before halftime. Souleymane Balde put a ball in the back of the net at 44:37 to give Bethel the 2-0 advantage.
The second half brought three goals for the Wildcats. First, in the 53rd minute, Stanley Grand-Pierre got in the book with a goal, and just over five minutes later, Balde had bagged a brace for the night with a strike in the 59th minute. Cousins went on to cap the match at 5-0 with his second goal of the night at 66:23.
