Dylan Sosa-Sanchez played a crucial role for the Black Hawks, scoring two goals in the second half to lead his team’s comeback after trailing 2-1 at halftime.

The match began with Bloomfield Hills taking an early lead, as Simon Dizon scored just one minute into the game. Royal Oak responded by equalizing when Aaron Austin deflected a free kick into the goal. Cullen Wicka then put Royal Oak ahead 2-1 just before halftime with a stunning shot from nearly 40 yards that found the top corner of the net.
Despite a strong showing, Royal Oak struggled to capitalize on their possession and numerous shot opportunities in the second half. Black Hawks goalie Ben Toby made a critical diving save on a penalty kick attempt from Royal Oak, further stifling their comeback efforts.
