Shortly after entering the game as a substitute, Cristea connected for his second goal of the year. Anthony Colofranson (Woodbury Hts./Gateway) flicked the ball to the top of the box, where Cristea won a footrace with a William Paterson defender and scored on a low shot with 8:40 left in the first half to increase the lead to 2-0.
