Sunday, August 5
There were three
games in the CPSL tonight, all OZ Optics Cup qualifiers:
OTTAWA WIZARDS 4,
DURHAM FLAMES 1
TORONTO OLYMPIANS 1, NORTH YORK ASTROS 0
GLEN SHIELDS SUN
DEVILS 5, BRAMPTON HITMEN 5
OTTAWA WIZARDS CONTINUE WINNING
WAY
Brampton Hitmen fought back from a 4-2 half-time deficit to tie Glen
Shields Sun Devils 5-5 in one of three OZ Optics League Cup qualifying games
played tonight. There were eight goalscorers in the high scoring affair,
including two for Gus Kouzmanis of Glen Shields and a pair for Kurt Mella of
Brampton.
Ottawa Wizards continued their winning way with a 4-1 romp over
Durham Flames at the Civic Stadium in Oshawa. Abraham Osman, Mario Andrijanic,
Kevin Nelson and Samir Karaga were the marksmen for Ottawa, while Omar
El-Behairy scored the lone Durham goal. Ottawa has lost just one game in 12
league and cup encounters at this mid-point in the season.
Toronto
Olympians nipped North York Astros, 1-0, at the Esther Shiner Stadium in North
York tonight. The game was heading for a scoreless tie when Astros' defender
Angelo Pollastrone deflected an Olympians attempt past his own goalkeeper at the
60th minute mark. Luciano Mirando in the North York nets had little chance to
prevent the own-goal.
In a meaningless league cup game (St. Catharines had already
clinched first place in this group), Glen Shields Sun Devils and Brampton Hitmen
played to a
5 - 5 tie at Dufferin District Park this evening.
After
Brampton took an early 2 - 1 lead after 20 minutes, Glen Shields scored three in
a row to take a 4 - 2 lead at half time.
The teams exchanged goals early
in the second half to leave Glen Shields ahead by 5 - 3 but Brampton stormed
back with two goals in the final 10 minutes to claim the tie.
