23\/9\/17
\nSpartak 3, Rush 1<\/p>\n
Spartak overcame the setback of going a goal down to an early penalty to immediately fight back. <\/p>\n
Within minutes Niall Hanratty found Ger Byrne with a through pass and Ger made no mistake to complete a century of Spartak goals. Just 17 minutes had elapsed when Niall Hanratty fastened onto a Mick Leslie pass to confidently convert and give the Sky Blues the lead.<\/p>\n
Spartak dominated the remainder of the half without adding to the scoring. <\/p>\n
An early second half breakthrough saw Mick Leslie send Conor Callis away and then fire in the return pass to make it 3-1.
\nConor Callis then fired wide of the near post when in a great position, and Cian Stenson, making a typical break, exchanged passes to find himself bearing down on goal. He looked to be in a great position to shoot, but chose to pass, but failed to find Conor Callis in support.<\/p>\n
Chris Hogan made a couple of fine blocks as Rush strove to get back in the game, but Spartak saw out the game to clinch the points.<\/p>\n
