-UD controlled the beginning portion of the second half, getting two corner kicks and firing three of their four shots in the first 22 minutes of the second half.
-The Spartans had five corner kicks in the contest and had a great look on a corner in 56th minute but it was punched out by the Viking goalkeeper.
-One, if not the best Spartan chance of the night took place in the 85th minute when a cross into the box found the head of a leaping Jake Persenico but the ball sailed just inches over the crossbar.
