Pacific FC made it two wins from two at home this season, beating Valour FC 2-1 at Starlight Stadium on Wednesday.

After going down 1-0 at the end of the first half on a brilliant header from Valour defender Rocco Romeo, Pacific FC equalized thanks to a shot from  outside the penalty area by Lukas MacNaughton that found its way into the bottom left corner of the Valour goal. Pacific ‘keeper Callum Irving was sent off with about 15 minutes to go, but The Tridents kept attacking and won the game in the 87th minute as Marco Bustos headed in the winning goal after being left alone in front of the net.
