Boca Raton went down 1-0 in the first half but took advantage of a slow second-half start by the Panthers to capitalize and find an equalizer in the 56th minute when Pedro Viega was able to follow up on a cross sent inside the Panthers box to level the match at 1 apiece.

With the tie, Boca Raton FC remains in 3rd place in the NPSL Sunshine Conference Standings, with crucial games versus Miami Dutch Lions and Miami United FC this week.
