Result of the A-League game played Sunday May 27th, 2001 at Varsity
Stadium in Toronto between Toronto Lynx and Rochester Raging Rhinos.
50
minutes...Rhinos Lenin Steenkamp GOAL...Steenkamp
cuts a shot from 15 yards
in box while moving left to right corner of net beyond diving goalie. Rhinos had
possession in Lynx end for about 30 seconds. Nate Daligcon was awarded an assist
for getting the ball to Steenkamp. (Sportsnet proved the ball deflected off
defender Marco Reda).
Final Score:....Toronto Lynx....0....Rochester
Raging Rhinos....1
The last ten minutes of the game were end to end
action as the Lynx pressed forward and quickly retreat from the Rhino
counterattack. I'll need to watch the tape I'm recording on Sportsnet to fill in
the details for my web site.
It seemed to be rough up Kristian Grzetic
night (two games in a row) who eventually was subbed at the 56 minute
mark.
Attendance was announced as 2027. A thunderstorm had blasted
through at about 3:00pm and probably killed the walk-up crowd. It also started
to rain just after the national anthem but soon stopped and the sun came
out.
The Ultras fans had to take on two Rhino supporter groups. The only
good Rhino fan shot was "2000 out of 7 million! We get 10,000 a
game."
Even the mascot game was no score as they used an oversized ball
and toy nets that were almost impossible to fit the ball in.
Big game on
Tuesday afternoon against Connecticut Wolves that I should be at. Important for
morale
that both eastern Canadian teams don't end up at the bottom of the
standings.
