The game was a disciplined affair from both sides. Neither team picked up a booking across the 90 minutes, a rarity in any competitive fixture and a reflection of a match that was decided by margins rather than controversy.
Brevard SC Riptide will be frustrated by the result, having kept the scoreline close but ultimately lacking the finishing touch needed to earn at least a point.
