It stayed that way until the 55th minute when the Royals finally tied it up when Michelle Wessa got the equalizer scoring her second in as many days. Just four minutes later Sam Kell tallied her eighth of the season and gave the Royals the lead.

The Mariners however would not quit. In the 86th minute Chloe Gummer tied it up with her second goal in as many days.
