Stoughton picked out a Scottish stone in the four-foot in the fifth end to score three, and take a 4–3 lead into the break. After Scotland tied the game in the sixth, Canada blanked the seventh, with Stoughton showing off his 360 degree "spin-o-rama" delivery on his last, as it was only a throw-through.

In the 10th, Brewster was light on his final rock, and Stoughton didn't have to throw his final rock, as victory had been assured. The gold medal was Stoughton's second and Canada's
