(2-0) Good Hope 2 – (0-2) St. Bernard 1
Andres Aguilar scored two goals in the first half to help Good Hope take a 2-0 lead at the half. St. Bernard had multiple opportunities to score its first goal of the night, but the Saints couldn't quite find the back of the net. The Raiders looked to stretch their lead but missed the net on multiple chances, including Aguilar, who came very close to getting his third goal of the night.
The Saints finally got on the scoreboard with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game on a goal by Brayam Morales, but it was too little too late and Good Hope went on to take the game 2-1.
The Raiders will travel to Holly Pond on Thursday, while the Saints will head home to take on Tarrant in search of their first win of the season.
