Aaron Sindhar scored the first goal of the season for the Night Hawks, in the 36th minute of the match. The goal came just over a minute after the Royals had a yellow card issued against them. Â
Thomas added an insurance goal in the 76th minute when
Kieran McCombe scored on an assist by
Diego Azar.
Goalkeeper,
