Mustang forward Timo Scheunemann blasted a shot into an empty net when Sea Warrior goal keeper Casey Gewertz came out and misplayed the ball with one minute remaining.

Stephen Janho scored in the first half for the Mustangs on a penalty kick after a Sea Warrior hand ball in the ninth minute to give the Mustangs a 1-0 lead.
