As the two sides pushed for the win, it was Eusi Phillips who rifled home the game winner for Sparta Boss in the 29th minute, to send the usual ‘Kings of Futsal’ through to the semi-finals.
Sparta Boss’ opposition for tonight, Sophia, made light work of Bent Street in their quarter-final clash, winning 4-2.
