The University of Guam Men's Soccer Team gave up two goals in the first 5 minutes of the match as the NAPA Rovers beat the Tritons 2-1 on Friday night at the Guam Football Association National Training Center in the biggest GFA Men's League (Division II) match of the season.

Coming into the match, the Rovers were in first place with 40 points, while the Tritons were in 2nd place with 39 points.

UOG did not have starting goal keeper Mike Topasna available for the match due to personal reasons, and the Rovers took advantage early with a set shot from 20 yards out and then a hard shot from just inside the box.

The Triton defense settled down after that point, not giving up another goal. The UOG offense did come alive with about 15 minutes left in the first half, as Jacques Diambra took a hard shot at goal that the Rover goal keeper could not handle. Rafael Sablan put in the loose ball for the UOG score.

The Tritons were down 2-1 at half-time, and the score remained the same for the 2nd half. Both teams made defensive saves on hard shots during the 2nd half, and for the last 5 minutes of the match, UOG dominated the ball in Rover territory. But shots were high or wide or the Rover goalkeeper made good stops on hard shots, and the Rover defense would kick the ball out of the box area as the Triton pressure could not tie the match.

UOG is now 13-6-0 for season and have lost their last two matches. The Tritons face Crushes FC in their final GFA Men's League (Division II) match of the season on April 21 at 7:00 p.m. The Tritons will play in the GFA Cup on May 4, at 9:00 p.m. against the winner of the Pago Bay Disasters and Hyundai Family FC.
