Ten minutes later, Charleston extended its lead to 2-0 when Heviel Cordoves took a turnaround shot from about 16 yards out that bounced over a diving Badr and into the OKC net.

On the ensuing kickoff by Energy FC, Sanyang was booked with his second yellow card of the match and was sent off with a red card. Charleston outshot OKC 10-5 on the match and held a 4-1 edge in shots on goal.
