Head coach Scott Johannes expressed his disappointment, stating that doubt crept in when the team couldn’t convert their chances. Perry’s offense finally clicked into place, overwhelming the Bobcats with four goals in a nine-minute span, including two goals from Sergio Sanchez.

Although Marshalltown managed to regroup at halftime, they were unable to mount a comeback against a strong Perry team. Logan Hoffman and Aaron Ordaz Zambrano combined for a goal early in the second half, but Perry quickly responded with two more goals to extend their lead.

Despite some offensive chances in the second half, Marshalltown was unable to capitalize and ultimately fell short against Perry. However, the Bobcats did manage to score a late goal courtesy of David Monge, providing a positive note to end the game.
