Andrew Gomez's shot attempt off of that corner was blocked by the Panthers back-line. Seconds later as the Dolphins looked to regroup, they were whistled for an offside in their offensive zone, surrendering possession.
The next wave of Dolphins offensive pressure started in the 55' minute but
Jair Magallan had his attempt blocked, finally, in the 57'
Guy Horcasitas was able to connect with
Julius Tumukunde in the six yard box to score his second of the season.
Over the final 30 + minutes of play, the Panthers once again regained possession of the ball, not allowing the Dolphins much possession and holding CMSV without a shot over that time.
