Soon after, Kamoe found the back of the net again after receiving a pass from defender Collin Walch in the 32nd minute.

AAU headed into halftime down 2-0, but five minutes into the second half, Pineda took an assist from senior midfielder Jaime Patino-Calvo and headed the ball in from six feet out.
