The goals came in a variety of ways from a variety of players. Clay Holstad opened the scoring with a USL Championship goal of the week, possibly year contender. Holstad launched a rocket shot that deflected of the post and in giving RIFC the early lead. Kwizera doubled that lead when his 1 v 1 effort beat the Louisville keeper far post putting RIFC 2-0 at the half.
JJ Williams tripled the RIFC lead when he broke in on goal and chipped the Lou City keeper giving the anchors that all important 3 goal cushion. From there on out the teams traded goals. D. Mares brought a goal back for City in the 85th minute. In the 90th minute all hell broke loose. A Noah Fuson goal in the 90+1 minute was sandwiched by a City J. Morris goal in the 90+5 minute. Providence native Isaac Angking sealed the deal in the 90+5 minute of stoppage time. Angking broke through the Lou City defense from the kickoff and slipped the 5th goal past Louisville, emphatically giving RIFC there 2nd win of the season.
