Match Recap

It was a very hard fought match and both teams created scoring opportunities in the first half without success. The score at half time was 0-0. The second half started with La Roca creating great shot opportunities on goal, but Sparta's goalkeeper, Camree Gautavai, came up with some big saves to keep the game level. Sparta's first goal came mid-way through the second half. A great run and cross from Manuel Duenas was met by a spectacular diving header from Adam Talbot. Sparta's second goal came five minutes later when a through pass from Marlo Matamoros found James Rodgers who turned and smashed it home from 20 yards.
