By the tenth minute, the Silverbacks gained a strong offense, as the Cosmos sought to quickly reverse the roles on the pitch.

Silverbacks' Brad Stisser continued the attack on goal which the 2013 NASL Golden Glove winner Kyle Reynish easily took care of.

Cosmos' Stefan Dimitrov followed in the 17th minute, with a shot of his own toward the left post which Silverbacks goalkeeper Joe Nasco dove to save.

The Cosmos earned a free kick and in the 29th minute Marcos Senna took the shot, but it was sent into the arms of Nasco who was able to dive after it.

In the 35th minute, Ayoze placed the ball into the goal area and Paulo Mendes made a connection, however, he could not redirect it into the net.

At the half way mark, the game remained scoreless, with an amazing performance by Nasco who created a strong defense and made several saves throughout the night.

Danny Barrera drove an attack in the 61st minute, putting a ball across the face of the goal, but the Cosmos cleared it out for a corner, which they also successfully defended.

In the 62nd minute, Mike Randolph’s cross into the area was headed high by Pedro Mendes whose attempt was the closest to making goal.

One minute later, Silverback's Barrera fielded a corner kick into the goal box, and Reynish punched it away.

During the post game ceremony, important NASL leaders including Commissioner Bill Peterson, and the President of the USSF and a leading FIFA member Sunil Gulati were on hand.

Bill Peterson congratulated the club, and the Cosmos hoisted the Soccer Bowl trophy in the air in celebration of their new championship.
