The Rhinos started the brighter of the two sides and took the lead inside the opening two minutes. Tom whipped in a dangerous corner delivery that caused all sorts of problems in the box.

The Dragons responded brilliantly just five minutes later through Logan, who produced a fantastic finish to level the scores. Picking up the ball in space, he fired an unstoppable strike into the roof of the net to make it 1-1.

The second half continued to be a tight and competitive affair, with both sides battling hard across the pitch. Around ten minutes after the restart, the Dragons found the breakthrough. A perfectly weighted ball over the top released Tyrion through on goal, and he calmly slotted his finish into the bottom-left corner to put the Dragons ahead.
