The Hens (3-3-1) held things close with the Lions (4-0-0), who are receiving votes nationally, throughout the entire game. UD posted a total of seven shots on the game and had one goal wiped away due to an offsides penalty in the first half.

Ben Sampson nearly tied the game just a minute later with a header, but a Lions defender was able to notch the team save for the win. Blai Palmí finished the game with six saves in 90 minutes played.
