For the second consecutive game, Adam Moffat earned Emirates Cosmos Man of the Match honors from the media. The Scottish midfielder kept his composure, scoring two goals off penalty kicks. 

Moffat's first goal came in the 39^th minute after Andrés Flores was fouled in Tampa Bay's box by Juan Guerra. Rowdies goalkeeper Matt Pickens dove to his right but Moffat shot the other way, bringing the Cosmos within striking distance after two quick goals from the visitors.

Moffat completed his penalty kick brace in the 64^th minute. This time, Lucky Mkosana was fouled by Guerra as he crossed into the Rowdies box with the ball. Pickens guessed right on the direction of Moffat's attempt, as he dove left, but Moffat was able to rocket it past Pickens for his seventh goal of the season and second of the game.
