F/T
Team Taranaki 1 - 0 Miramar Rangers
Big result for Team Taranaki. Pretty scrappy game overall, some good chances to both sides, but otherwise a game that was played predominantly in the middle third.
Miramar finished with 10 players, but admittedly looked better after the sending off, as they pushed forward in search of an equaliser. TT were organised at the back and proved hard to break down, however they didn't really do themselves any favours in the final quarter of the match as they sat deep and had Mosquera as the only outlet up front.
Certainly won't be pushovers in this league if they keep their organisation and discipline.
Good little crowd in attendance too, maybe 350-400.
