Nelson has Soccer Win

Scoring the only goal of the match shortly after the start of the second half, Nelson clung grimly to its short lead and went on to beat the famed Wellington club champions Hungaria by 1 goal to nil. It was a closely fought game in which the fortunes fluctuated. If anything, Nelson tended to make more of its opportunities and came extremely close to scoring at least two more goals.
