Kickoff began at 8:00 PM with Columbia taking control of the game early, dictating possession and tempo, with Stevens fighting hard to stay in the match. The first half ended in a defensive stalemate at 0-0. Early in the second half, Columbia broke the deadlock with a goal. However, Stevens responded quickly with a stunning long-range strike from Dallas O'Connor to equalize. Moments later, Grant Miller attempted a chip that forced the Columbia goalkeeper into a desperate handball outside the box, resulting in a red card. Despite the man advantage, Stevens conceded a penalty when Danny Sharaf fouled a Columbia player in the box, and Columbia converted from the spot. Undeterred, Stevens pushed forward, with Padraig Flynn rising to the occasion, scoring a towering header from the top of the box off a well-placed corner. The match ended in a hard-fought 2-2 draw.
