FIU (2-4-0, 2-0-0) tied the match at one in the 71st minute as Joris Ahlinvi headed in a goal on a pass for Caleb Frankie.

The matched remained scoreless until the 109th minute when the Panthers netted the golden goal with 23 ticks remaining on the clock to take the match 2-1.

For Robinson, it was the fourth goal of the midfielder's career and his first since 2016.
