Queens Park 0, Spartak 2
In bumpy and breezy conditions in Brickfields, the home side handed out some early introductions, conceding free kicks in the process.
Spartak huffed and puffed but Steve Walsh’s efforts went direct to the keeper, while Stev Grier had a valid penalty claim denied. Neil McGowan’s header brought a fine save from the keeper.
The breakthrough came when Steve Grier headed powerfully home from Martin Costello’s corner
Early in the second half Queens Park suffered a red card from an innocuous situation, and shortly afterwards Dave Kernan’s run brought a corner. The ball was half cleared and Stev Grier fired a left footed volley to the roof of the net.
The ten men gave a good acccount of themselves and Spartak could not add to their lead.
A clean sheet and three points.
