  • Mihlali Blesi led the Tigers with four shots and one shot on goal, followed by Ruben Cooper with one goal, three shots, and one shot on goal.
  • Campbellsville surpassed Asbury in several statistical categories, most significantly: shots (17-1), shots on goal (8-1), and corners (8-3).
  • Tonight's win is the Tigers' eighth consecutive win against the Eagles, having not lost a game against them since 2012. During that time, the Tigers have only allowed two goals from Asbury, while the rest of their victories have limited them to zero.

Jon Magnusson opened the game with a couple of corner kicks for Campbellsville. Ruben Cooper and Mihlali Blesi were quick to charge at the goal, unable to score despite their relentless efforts. The Eagles collected what would be their only shot of the match and goalie Malte Schou's single save of the night at the 29:49 mark.

With the game still scoreless, Harry Freeman and Filip Saric came off the bench and into the second with back-to-back shots, unable to put the Tigers on the scoreboard. Nicolo Lanari, Malte Ekman, Eduardo De Filipina, and Ollie Jagroop all followed suit with shots of their own. Still, the time on the scoreboard expired before they were able to score.

The game went into overtime after a full time of play, and Cooper scored the golden goal at the 91:28 mark, giving the Tigers the regional title and earning their ticket to the tournament site in Florida.
