The visitors had claimed four points from their first 2 matches but were dominated and beaten by a rapidly improving Santa Rosa team. Keheil Williams opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a header from a corner, with Antonio Auguste stretching the lead in the in the 23rd with a cheeky back-heel inside the goal area.
