Jorge Navarro and David Achaerandio would each look to score but both shots would be saved. The FPU offense took advantage of the Sea Lion missed opportunities as they netted a goal of their own in the 65th minute. The Sun Bird defender chipped the ball over McEwen to tie the game 1-1. The next ten minutes the Fresno Pacific offense would keep the momentum from the goal and shoot two more times, one missing wide, and the other hitting the post.
