Francesco Conti saw hit shot attempt fly wide left of the goal early in the second half. A second opportunity for the Bulldogs was thwarted by the Georgia Gwinnett keeper as Cameron Groom's header shot off a Felipe dos Santos corner kick was saved. The opponents were able to score one more time before the final buzzer.
