What happened: The second-half switch came after a 1-1 halftime deadlock turned into a one-goal advantage entering the final 21 minutes of regulation.

Why it matters: The move continues a pattern of late-game deployment with a lead on the board, following Alvas Powell's 85th-minute entry in a 3-1 match in late September and a closing appearance in a 2-0 result in August.

What to watch: Four minutes of stoppage time at the 90th-minute mark still separated the 2-1 advantage from the final whistle.
