The scoreline was tight, but the reported shot-on-target count gave Point Pleasant Boro a slight advantage. Boro finished with six shots on target compared with four for St. John Vianney.
That margin points to a match decided by efficiency rather than sustained dominance. Viggiano’s finish provided the breakthrough, and Boro’s defense protected it through the closing stages.
The report credits Stevenson with four saves in a clean-sheet performance that proved as important as the goal. St. John Vianney goalkeeper Lillie Lazzari reportedly made five saves, underlining how limited the margin was between the teams.
For Point Pleasant Boro, the defensive response after taking the lead was the key storyline. Against a side that had reportedly won its opening 11 matches, avoiding a late concession carried major significance.
Point Pleasant Boro’s reported record now stands at 10-1, with the only defeat coming against Central Regional on opening day. Since then, the team has won nine in a row, turning an early setback into one of the strongest runs in the season.
St. John Vianney, meanwhile, is reported to have moved to 11-1. The defeat ends its perfect start, but it does not erase the strength of the campaign so far.
The next fixtures will test whether Point Pleasant Boro can sustain its defensive discipline and extend the streak. For St. John Vianney, the response after its first loss will become the next major measure of its season.
