At the 105:05 mark, SJSU's Ismael Ibarra was tripped inside the box on a close and heated scramble for the ball, in which Ibarra and a Falcon player collided in pursuit of the ball.

With the match tied 1-1 with five minutes to go in regulation, Falcon forward David Schill sent in a pass from the right side towards the Sac. St. net. The ball was immediately deflected by a Hornet defender but caromed high into the air and landed right in front of the net. The ball then took a high bounce, allowing Muir to beat Sac. St. keeper Matt McDougall in the air as he was able to head the ball in before McDougal could get to it.
In a hard-fought contest that featured seven cautions and 32 combined fouls, Colin Eames put the Falcons on top in the 33rd minute with his first goal of the season. Eames, who was perfectly positioned in front of the middle of the box, took a pass along the right side from Muir and drilled a lazer-beam shot to the lower right corner for the score.
Sacramento State tied the match up in the 69th minute on a penalty kick after a Hornet player was pulled down just inside the box along the right side. Oscar Sandoval converted the PK and made it a 1-1 match.
