\nSpartak 2, Mid Sutton\/Sportslink 1<\/p>\n
A somewhat fortunate win, in that both goals came from big Mid Sutton errors.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, Spartak came from behind at the interval to win. The visitors scored after a smart move and cross found the Sky Blues defence wanting. Up front Mick Leslie missed a couple of presentable chances in a tight first half. <\/p>\n
Spartak found their rythm in the second period; Mikey Ryan and Mick Leslie combined to send Ciaran Keane in with a chance, he turned inside and clipped the top of the bar with his effort. Then the equaliser came after a scramble, during which any of Mikey Ryan , Mick Leslie or Leo Behan might have scored. All missed the opportunity until a visiting defender, attempting to clear, smashed the ball against Mick Leslie, and the ball looped high to the net over a helpless custodian. Mick was immediately in twitter contact with Harry Kane, who advised him to claim the goal. <\/p>\n
Worse was to follow for the visitors. Sean Doyle\u2019s cunningly flighted free kick was headed to his own net by a defender, who was under pressure from Kevin Murphy\u2019s run. 2-1.<\/p>\n
Spartak now opened up, buoyed by the goals, and played some nice football. Cian Stenson added a \u201cthird\u201d but was ruled offside, and Ciaran Keane had a clear one on one chance, but shot at the keeper.<\/p>\n
Spartak\u2019 defence, ably marshalled by Sean Doyle, and with Owen McCormack an assured deputy for the injured Greg Byrne between the posts, held firm to clinch the win.<\/p>\n
