Midfielder Taimu Okiyoshi followed with a long-range attempt in the 11th minute that narrowly missed the right side of the goal.<\/p>\n

Hartford eventually broke through in the 63rd minute as midfielder Samuel Careaga finished from close range following a pass from Barry Coffey to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Head coach Marlon LeBlanc responded with attacking substitutions, bringing on forwards Markus Anderson, Shaan Hundal, and Jaden Servania in the 61st minute before later introducing midfielder Peter Mangione and Callum Frogson.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn nearly responded immediately after conceding, with CJ Olney Jr. forcing another save from Siaha in the 62nd minute after a setup from Ryan McLaughlin.
