WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, MI (October 19, 2025) - The semifinal round of the 2025 NISA Pro Cup proved that experience can be the biggest difference maker.

Once staked to a 1-0 lead, both winners went after and got a second goal to secure the win rather than sit back and absorb pressure. 

It was a technical and tactical masterclass by a couple of veteran clubs.

Los Angeles Wolves 2, Northern Colorado Hailstorm 0

Controlling possession is one thing. Composed finishing is another.

Enzo Mauriz earned and converted a penalty early in the second half and Joe Montes de Oca added an insurance goal as Los Angeles Force (3-1-0), the Group A winners, dominated the ball to earn a spot in the NISA Pro Cup Championship Final.

Limited to only one shot on goal, Northern Colorado Hailstorm (2-1-1) could not keep pace with L.A. Force's second-half substitutions.

Capo FC 2, Peak XI FC 0

There hasn't been a team better at taking care of dead ball situations.

Julian Svoboda scored from a free kick for the fourth goal from a restart for Capo FC (3-1-0) in the tournament, and Dakota Hatzenbeller tacked on a second in the final 5 minutes as the Group B winners advance to the NISA Pro Cup Championship Final to face a long-time rival.

The Cinderella Story of the NISA Pro Cup, Peak XI FC (1-1-2) bookends the tournament with a second 2-0 loss.
