The 25-year-old found the net in the 18th minute for what proved to be the winner for Sparta. 

It was the side's first win of the season after four games, having drawn twice and lost once in their first three fixtures. 

The goal was Goodwin's first of the season, having started three of their opening four matches. 

Fellow Australian Kenneth Dougall put in another stellar shift in the midfield for Sparta to continue his good form. 

The 24-year-old has played 90 minutes in every game this season as Sparta sit 12th in the Eredivisie table.
