The Mustangs remain undefeated and move to 7-0, while the Express drop to 5-2-1 on the year.

Daniel Haegler then caught a break at the 44:30 mark. He crossed one into the box to set up a header for his teammate, but it went over his head, hit off the heel of an Express player in the box, and scooted past the keeper and into the net to make it a 3-0 lead for the Mustangs heading into the half.
 
Viegas gave the Mustangs a 4-0 lead early in the second half, scoring at the 49:43 mark on a penalty kick to cap off the scoring for the game.
 
Oliver Semmle and Victor Camps picked up a combined shutout in net for the Mustangs, with Semmle earning the win after getting the start to improve to 4-0 on the year. Fred Guillou made nine saves in 73:30 between the pipes for the Express, but took the loss to fall to 3-2-1.
 
Viegas finished with a three-point day for the Mustangs, while Da Silva, Haegler and Erhardt each tallied a goal in the win. Gherab also picked up an assist on Monday.
