Subsequently, the Dragons opened the scoring with a chipped kick from Kade Reed, leading to Tobias Miller capitalizing on the play.
The Tigers responded effectively with a well-executed play that allowed Max Taotua to outmaneuver a defender and pass to Tavana, who executed an impressive dive into the corner to score.
