Result of the A-League game between Toronto Lynx and Richmond
Kickers played Sunday August 27, 2000 at 7:30pm.
78 min...Kickers GOAL
Dwayne DeRosario...DeRosario heads ball from right sideline to keep it in play
even through he falls down out of bounds. Kickers Robert Ukrop Jr takes ball
away from Lynx defenders holds up and passes off to DeRosario who has got back
into play. DeRosario blasts shot from 15 yards on right that Lynx goalie Theo
Zagar gets piece of by shuffling to his right and ball deflects through his
hands into right corner of net.
85 min...Lynx David Diplacido rolls shot
from 20 yards after getting short cross from left that diving RF goalie Mike
McGinty pushes wide left of goal.
95 min (long time added on)...Lynx
Nikola Vignjevic cornerkick from left deflected out that Lynx Chis Pozniak gets
shot to and ball deflected up and hits top of crossbar and stays in
play.
Final Score:....Toronto Lynx......0.....Richmond
Kickers.......1....
After the game, Dwayne DeRosario was mobbed by about
30 friends and family members who ran onto the field. He was a resident of the
suburb of Scarborough. He is the star of the Kickers scoring 15 or the team's 40
goals. Two guys have five goals each. He was listed as a forward but took on the
role of an overlapping midfielder so he could be in all the plays.
This
raises the question "Should he be a superstar in the A-League or just another
benchwarmer on some European team?" Well I know what most soccer snobs on this
board think.
The Lynx don't clinch a playoff spot this weekend. The
Impact won today 3-1 against the US Pro40 but the Lynx play them again on
Wednesday.
I thought the Atlantic Division Kickers would have been a much
better team but the Lynx beat them to the majority of the 50-50
balls.
Attendance was announced as 2480. It was East Meets West night
with a karate school giving a demonstration and a dance troupe doing a Dragon
Dance but I didn't notice more Asians than usual.
