On Nuke, strong performances from wippie and steel saw the team end the half up 9-6, however after switching sides, a notable performance from chelo saw his squad tie the map at 9-9.
This would be the last time chelo's men managed to close the gap with Team steel however, as the squad quickly rallied to secure map point before taking the map 16-12.
