HOW IT HAPPENED:

• A header by Luca Puster inside the 18-yard box just 1:25 into play put Lynn in a position to take a lead while Juan David Tejada was turned away by Roth on a breakaway attempt in the fourth minute.
• Watson turned in his 13th goal of the year, and ninth game-winner, in the 15th minute after a hustle play by Simon Kraemer.  Kraemer beat his defender and kept the ball in play on the back line before sending a low cross to the left post.  Watson evaded traffic and tipped the cross past Tritons' keeper Alex Gott to put Lynn ahead 1-0.
