Barriga With the Game Winner as Royals Shutout Spirit 1-0

Surprise, AZ – The Hope International men's soccer team (11-2-1, 3-1 GSAC) picked up all six points on their Arizona road trip as they took down the OUAZ Spirit 1-0 on Saturday morning in Surprise, AZ.

The game started out pretty even as both teams created chances. The Spirit had the first chance of the game within the first few minutes and Omar Rodriguez put the first shot on target for the Royals in the 32nd minute. The Royals would finally break the deadlock in the 39th minute as Eric Barriga scored his second goal of the season off a loose header in the box to put the Royals up 1-0. The Spirit then had a late chance to tie it but Milton Herrera came up with a big stop as the Royals went into the break up 1-0.

The Royals looked to protect their lead in the second half as they allowed the Spirit to possess the ball more. The Spirit would create several opportunities but Herrera came up with two big saves to keep the Spirit off the board. Colm Cohen had a late chance to add to the Royals lead but his free kick went just over the bar. The Royals defense then held on in the last few minutes as they came away with a big 1-0 win. Herrera played all 90 minutes in goal and recorded five saves as he picked up his fourth shutout..

The Royals return home for GSAC action as they host The Master's on Thursday, October 19 at 7:00 PM at OC Great Park Field 18 in Irvine, CA
