The deciding goal came in the 43rd minute from a corner kick.  Kevin Venegas delivered the ball to Steve Carroll whose head guided the ball into the back of the 1904 FC net.

In the first half, the pitch tilted Detroit’s way.  Down a goal, 1904 FC battled.  In the end, though, all things were pretty even except for the one City corner kick which resulted in the goal.

1904 FC’s tournament ended with a win, a loss, and a draw.  They would open their spring season in Los Angeles against the Force on May 7, 2021.  Detroit City FC was undefeated, with a 2-win, 1-draw tournament and did not concede a single goal.  In three days, they would play Chattanooga FC for the Legends Cup Final.
