It was the first game of the Florida Derby as the Tampa Bay Rowdies shut out the Fort Lauderdale Strikers 1-0 at Al Lang Stadium on Saturday night. Fort Lauderdale(2-3-1) remains tied for sixth place in the NASL while Tampa Bay(3-1-3) jumped up to second place with the victory.
Both clubs will meet two more times this season to determine who wins the Coastal Cup. The Strikers captured it last year after the Rowdies won it in the previous four seasons.
The only goal of the match was scored by Tampa Bay early in the second half of play. Robert Hernandez was able to put in the game-winning goal during the 56th minute.
