That early momentum was halted by an EOC break away. 5 goals would be scored in the first half leaving the Norsemen down 3-2 at the half. 
Eastern would waste no time taking control of the game in the second half with a goal coming just 7 minutes after the restart. With the 4-2 lead  Eastern went to a defensive formation.
