A lack luster performance by the Kingz in the opening 30 minutes cost them the game. The Northern spirit in fact were too professional and outclassed the Kingz on the nights in all facets. Only a well taken goal by Ivan Vicelich and a converted penalty shot by Captain, Harry Ngata saved the Kingz from a thrashing. The Spirit's strike power was evident and at 3-0 The Kingz were staring at an embarrassing defeat. What was more of a black mark though was the defence who throughout the night found it hard to communicate with the Argentinian import, Cuelo. The Kingz have to improve if they want to stay in the top six.
