The MLS Combine wrapped on Wednesday, as Team Nemeziz topped Team Tango in a final audition for Friday's MLS SuperDraft (11 am ET; Watch on MLSsoccer.com).
Harry Cooksley (St. John's) put Tango up with a precise finish before Graham Smith (Denver) rose up to head home a corner at the far post to equalize for Nemeziz just moments before halftime.
The decisive goal came via Mohamed Thiaw (Louisville), who earned and converted a penalty kick after being tripped up in the box by Tango's Brandon Bye (Western Michigan).
In the earlier game of the day, top prospects Jon Bakero and Francis Atuahene each found the net in a thrilling 2-2 draw between Team X and Team Predator.
