In the 41st minute, Tiia Thomlinson found the net after a well-crafted assist from Berkley Corcoran, who demonstrated excellent vision and precision to set up the goal. This strike gave Green Machine a deserved lead heading into the final stages of the first half.

Half-time arrived at 45 minutes with Green Machine holding a slender 1-0 advantage, reflecting their control and effective use of the 2-3-3 system.

However, the second half began with Team 6 responding swiftly. Within three minutes of the restart, at the 48th minute, Team 6 levelled the score. Despite Green Machine’s defensive efforts, the opponents managed to find a way past the central defenders and goalkeeper Leanna Chester, restoring parity and setting up a tense finale.

From that point on, both teams pushed for a winner but were unable to break the deadlock. Green Machine’s midfield and forward lines worked tirelessly to create chances, but Team 6’s defence held firm. Meanwhile, Violet Vople and Mackenzie Morin remained composed at the back, while Chester made several key saves to keep her side in the game.
