Tucville aggressively tried to respond but most of their changes were well secured by goalkeeper Amanacki Ford, who displayed his skills to the excited crowd.
Threatening Keifer Brandt looked like a professional ‘Golden Jaguar’ player as he tried endlessly to make an equalizer for his team but was unsuccessful as the newcomers goalkeeper meant business.
Other players who tried continually in making an equalizer were Courtney Elliot, Michael Campbell and Collin Waterman.
Little Brandt, who moves through the pack smoothly and quickly dribbled three players and even the goalkeeper who stepped out his box to retrieve the ball from the threatening player, but unbalanced, Brandt lost control of the ball and kicked it outside the uprights.
Eventually an equalizer came in the 68th minute when Ryan Blackman volleyed the ball off his right foot into the net to leave his team mates rejoicing.
The two teams both earned one point each after the draw.
