The Academy account tweeted out that it was 2-0 at HT & that JHS scored in the 71st min, Watto in the 75th and Mata from the spot in the 90th. So Tribe must be wrong about that.
Apparently it was a younger than normal squad, with a few of the more senior players out. So might be why the lack of subs?

Tribe had Watson’s goal at 9 mins, but maybe an entry error.
The bench pretty much reflected starters age wise, a 17 year old Jesper Edwards, who is a solid lad, 3 18 year olds and Josh Rudland who is 19.
And all of them can play.
Hayden Thomas is of slight build, Ryan Watson is not tall, and Dan Makowem broke his ankle at Western Springs U17 but been back since April, so unless Olympic were being particularly nasty, I’d have still trusted them out there.
Edit to add:
Weenix have in the past fielded sides in CL with _average_ age less than 18.
