Rochester Rhinos knew they needed a win and some help in other results to finish in the top four of the USL Eastern Conference in order to win the right to host a playoff match this season. From the opening whistle, the home side set out to do their part. The Rhinos attacked down the flanks through their wingbacks, Bradley Kamdem on the left side and Ryan James on the right.
Bradley Kamdem, as he has been many times during the 2016 USL season, was ever-present and always dangerous as an outlet and the overlapping run. Not to be outdone by the chances created by his teammate, Ryan James showed a strong work-rate in crafting the team's opening goal.
