After a scoreless first half, Colorado struck first in the 55th minute before the Monarchs mounted its comeback. The Monarchs found goals from Utah-native FW Kyle Coffee and RSL MF Justin Portillo. Coffee found the first in the 81st minute when his shot took a bounce off a defender to float over the goalkeeper. Portillo ended the contest with a stunning freekick that curved to find the far corner pocket and secure the three points away from home with a 2-1 scoreline.
