In the 26’ minute Nick Besler intercepted a poor clearance at midfield and immediately redirected it to Velazquez who prompted launched a beatiful shot for the second goa
The third goal in 34’ minute followed a strong shot from Seba which was knocked out by Reno goalkeeper Matt Bersano to an oncoming Hoffman who punched it in.
