Kansas dominated the first half, when Agada opened the rout at the 31 minute mark. The momentum was now with Kansas, who then scored again through a goal from Fontàs, at 40 minutes to establish a 2-0. However they weren’t finished yet and Thommy made it 3-0 just before halftime, ending the first half 3-0.

Wizards continued to apply pressure in the second and were rewarded, when Agada found the net again, at 75 minutes. In the end though, Portland secured the points emphatically, with a goal from Blanco just before the final whistle so at full time it was 4-1 to Kansas.
