Passarelli's Strike Helps Royals Stun No. 17 Spirit

Irvine, CA – The Hope International men's soccer team (7-1-3, 2-0-1) stunned No. 17 OUAZ 1-0 in a defensive showcase on Thursday evening at the OC Great Park in Irvine, CA

The game started off evenly as both teams created chances with the Royals coming the closest. Then just as things were looking promising for the Royals they went down to 10 men in the 24th minute. Their disadvantage didn't last long though as the Spirit had a player sent off just a few minutes later as both teams played the rest of the game with 10 men which led to fewer chances. Neither team were able to break through in the first half as the game was 0-0 at halftime. The Royals would finally break through in the second half as Giovani Passarelli just back from injury scored his first goal of the season on an absolute screamer in the 49th minute off a rebound from Diego Lopez to make it 1-0. From there the Royals sat back and defended for the rest of the game allowing just one shot on target which came in the 86th minute as they held on to upset the Spirit 1-0.

The Royals continue GSAC play at home as they take on Arizona Christian on Saturday, October 8 at 3:00 PM at Fullerton Community College in Fullerton, CA
