The Sockers ran out to a 3-0 lead before the All-Stars were able to figure out thing defensively.  The Sockers looked like they were going to role, as routinely got players forward and powered goals past the All-Star Goalie.  The first period couldn't end quickely enough.  Things turned around quickly in the second period, as the All-Stars started to dominate possession and really began to run at the Sockers.  The All-Stars created havoc with their superior dribbling ability, and Eduardo from Schurz finally broke though when he did a double scissor before blasting a low left footed shot into the bottom corner of the net.  After a couple of near misses that had the Sockers keeper scrambling on the goal line, the All-Stars were able to pull another one back when Juan from Kelly placed a quick free kick just past the Sockers wall and inside the far post.  The All-Stars had the momentum leading into the third period, but the game really turned into an end to end open afair.  The However, All-Stars created the better opportunities and pulled even when Aaron from Juarez spun with his back to the goal and rocked a shot along the boards that beat the keeper and some how found its way into the back of the net. 
With just under two minutes left the All-Stars pulled ahead when they took of a one man advantage and Jose from Mather found a little extra space and lined up a laser from 20 yards that flew past the keeper and into the net.  It turned out to be all the All-Stars needed.  The crowed exploded because the All-Stars were victorius, but also because the witnessed such a great game.
