KEY MOMENTS

34' – Missouri State would score first in the match, as Harry Jolley connected on a header from a Tyler Caton corner kick.
58' – The Bears would extend their lead to two after Jesus Barea converted from a succession of assists credited to James Jennings and Jared Harlock.

88' – The Tigers' momentum would be short-lived, as Ollie Bate would slide up the left wing before passing to Jesus Barea, who would score his brace for Missouri State's third and final goal of the match.

NOTABLES
