• The Golden Eagles had plenty of scoring chances but couldn't find the back of the net until the 32nd minute when Dacos found the ball at the top of the box to score after Gordon's shot hit off the top of the crossbar 
• SJLI held on to a one-goal lead for most of the second half until Dacos played a perfect through ball that found the feet of Saravia who was able to put it past the keeper for the second goal of the match and secure the Golden Eagles first season victory
