SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco’s green and white.

Arda Bulut’s 85th-minute penalty kick was the margin of victory for the San Francisco Glens as they won the San Francisco Derby 1-0 over SF City FC at Kezar Stadium.

Glens forward Stephen Cordova utilized his veteran expertise to draw the penalty in the box to give the City Bhoys the opportunity they needed to secure all three points on the road. Bulut went to his right on the ensuing shot from the spot and the ball found the back of the net.

Collin Liberty was named the Man of the Match presented by Gilligan Development for his play on the back line. His bone-crunching tackles broke up numerous scoring chances for the opponent throughout the 90 minutes. Goalkeeper Andrew Konstantino was also a force in net, making momentous saves to keep the clean sheet.

The significance of Thursday night’s battle was evident in the stands as the SF Glens Brigade waved their green-and-white clad flags and stayed long after the final whistle with Glens supporters from the Firefly Disc Club to celebrate the victory with their heroes.
