The few chances the Islanders did have came off some corner kicks and free-kicks which the Cavaliers players collectively did an excellent job of clearing.

The game ended 0-0, yet was a huge improvement from the team's opening loss. despite the goal-less draw it was probably the Cavaliers most consistent 90 minutes of soccer in the last few seasons.
