Danny Krajacic hit back for Knights only to see Benjamin Rolfe score almost immediately to keep the gap at two, and the scoreline stayed 3-1 at the break. But Michael Knee scored and South grabbed his second within four minutes of the restart to put Untouchables well in control. A late brace from Brandon Hawker restored some credibility to the scoreline for Knights but they could not find any extra goals as they fell 5-3.

Tom Cosentini got Timberwolves on the board and in the lead, and it looked like that goal might take them to all the way to the end. Aidan Brown scored with four minutes left to give Untouchables parity though, and Ben Harrington stepped up to spoil the party as he scored in the final minutes to win the game for Timberwolves.
