Stars FC picked up a 2–1 home victory over Southern California Eagles in USL League Two action on Monday, edging a competitive match to claim all three points.

Stars FC took control of proceedings and found the net twice, enough to hold off a Southern California Eagles side that pulled one back but ultimately fell short. Details on the individual goal scorers and timing of the goals were not immediately available from match officials.

Neither side picked up a booking across the 90 minutes, with the referee keeping his cards in his pocket throughout a cleanly contested affair. The lack of cautions pointed to a match played more through attacking intent than physical confrontation, though the one-goal margin ensured tension carried through to the final whistle.

Southern California Eagles will feel they had opportunities to take something from the game after finding a consolation goal, but Stars FC did enough defensively to protect their lead and see out the result.

The win gives Stars FC valuable momentum in the League Two standings as the summer schedule intensifies, while Southern California Eagles will look to bounce back quickly in their next outing.
