"We were 4-0 up with a little over five minutes to go. So we've still got to aim for a full 90-minute performance but I'm sure we're going in the right direction."
American striker Ahinga Selemani scored the visitors other goal. Both Sacramento and Selemani are in their first season in the Premiership and both got on the scoresheet for the first time.
When Sacramento arrived in the country Hawke's Bay United co-coach Chris Greatholder reckoned he arrived with tidy feet and fantastic technique to fulfil a creative role. In the first two rounds he has certainly proved this.
Substitute striker Blake Driehuis scored all three of the Wellington side's goals during the final eight minutes of the match. Hawke's Bay United led 1-0 at halftime.
Hawke's Bay United co-coach and centre back Bill Robertson said while his troops were a little bit disappointed to concede those three goals they were proud of the way they dominated the match for long periods.
"It was a really good day from everyone as a collective. We can take a lot of positives from this."
Hawke's Bay United will host Tasman United at Napier's Bluewater Stadium from 4pm on Saturday.
