Gyuwon Chong was the lone Golden Hurricane to record more than one shot in the match. Kansas City's Jeremy Francou broke the deadlock, scoring in the 31st minute to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. Despite several corner kicks and a shot by Luke Adams late in the half, Tulsa was unable to equalize before the halftime whistle.

Kansas City extended their advantage in the 59th minute when Raphael Kistmann scored, assisted by Joackim Betina and Bryce Outman, making it 2-0. Tulsa attempted to respond with a series of offensive efforts, including a shot by Gijs Hovius in the 58th minute, which was saved by Marc Popow. This marked Gijs Hovius' 15th shot on goal for the season. Despite Tulsa's attempts, including multiple corner kicks and shots from Chris Nezianya and Will Applegate, they were unable to break through Kansas City's defense. Notably, six of the 11 starters played the whole match, showcasing their endurance. The match concluded with a 2-0 victory for the visitors.
