Midfielders show the way

Spartak 2, Gary Breen X1 0.

Spartak had a rain soaked run out against a Paul Kinsella-led super league team.

Spartak’s midfield dominated the proceedings with Mick Costello and Niall Lennon well on top and it was Lennon who opened the scoring on 20 minutes with a 25 yard screamer. A second half header by Mick Costello from Dave O’Kelly’s free completed the scoring.

Spartak’s defence looked vulnerable in the air at times and were slow to move the ball when given time and space.

Up front and out wide there was a lack of creativity and firepower from the various combinations, with no player able to impose himself on the game, and this was disapponting given the quality of supply.

Bobby Hayes had a generally peaceful evening, with one fine save and improved kicking.
