Substitute George Rossett got by three Olympic defenders for a shot that was blocked, which Hatzos pounced on and drove past Chicago goalkeeper Tony Dallas. The game was interrupted by crowd disturbance late in the game. Steve Kyriazes of Chicago was accidentally hit in the face by New York's Christian Gonzalez, and some of the crowd rushed the field.
