Scoring Summary
| Team | Score | Video timestamp |
|---|---|---|
| Farnham Knights | Zaki Touchdown; conversion unsuccessful (6–0) | 10:01 (touchdown signalled 10:08) |

The recording is edited and does not show a readable game clock or quarter captions, so these are elapsed-video timestamps rather than official scoring times. The picture does not allow the scorers to be identified confidently. A retrospective report lead attributes all three touchdowns to Mart Zaki and names Sean Donahue as MVP, but its cited contemporary First Down report has not yet been inspected.
