Central Perth would strike again before the end of the period to take the lead into the third.
The Meteors never say die attitude showed strong in the third period as they battled hard for the puck. Ryan Hubbard would tie the game at two as he would manage to elude the chase of Central Perth's defense to make a last second shot lifting the puck over their sprawling goalie and into the net. Assisting on the goal was Jaxen Hartwig. The game winning goal would be scored just seconds later by Brayden Glauser assisted by Carter O'Brien in a goal mouth scramble.
