SECOND HALF
The defensive battle continued after the break, with neither team able to generate a goal. Buhrkuhl made two additional saves in the second half, including a stop on Gabriel Paes e Sa in the 82nd minute, to preserve his sixth shutout of the season.
 
AUM continued to push for the game-winning goal late, earning a corner in the 89th minute before Mikayil Bacar Said put a shot on target. Dominguez made the save, however, keeping the match scoreless through the final whistle.
