In a game where defense was on top, Titans could only cross the halfway line once in the dying moments of the 2nd quarter but that resulted in the final nail in their coffin as the Spartans broke the line to set up the final play for the Spartans.
Elsewhere, for the second game running, Lagos Rebels left it late before booking a spot in the championship game with a 42-41 victory over top-seed, Lagos Athletics Flag Football.
With less than two minutes to the end of the game, Lagos Rebels made a touchdown before shutting out the form team, Lagos Athletics Flag Football with one minute left on the game clock.
League commissioner Adebare Adebayo described the results as the hallmark of what the league is all about unpredictability and entertainment of flag football.
