Athletic United, coming off a 4-1 victory over Western Ville, started the second half down to 10 players due to injuries and City United  continued its onslaught with another half dozen goals, Two of those came from Ndayisenga Emmanuel, followed by hat trick from Jett Blaschka, Mathew Teitelbaum, and Christian Kapanda, as well as the first goal of the season from Jake Woodruff.
