Chestnut Hill's defense, led by Jose Cuadra, then took over, holding the Golden Falcon's to just two shots (one on target and saved by GK Eran Shifris in the 82^nd minute and one wide as time was expiring) over the final ten minutes while constantly pushing the ball into Felician territory to force the Golden Falcons to defend more often then moving their offense down the field.
