4 min TORONTO GOAL  Gasparini breaks up pass between back two defenders
and streaks in from 40 yards out and beats goalie low.

24 min TAMPA BAY GOAL  Dougherty gets hip on centreing pass from Donigan
who'd deked defender.  Dougherty tied for the league lead by scoring his
6th goal.  He's only 5 foot 2 inches tall!  He bounces off people.
Seems to be the leader of this team.  He was everywhere this afternoon.

~35 min Tampa Bay yellow card Trittschuh for trip from behind

Halftime Tampa Bay 17 Kevin Sloan replaces Tschantret

64 min Tampa Bay yellow card Harbor for making some behind the back
comment to ref about 15 yards away who was directing free kick

70 min Toronto 17 Steve Gill replaces Frank Lofranco

73 min TAMPA BAY GOAL  Trittschuh puts in header from corner kick from
Reasoner.  Blizzard players rush out on offside trap leaving two men
alone.  One of the only times that the ref or linesman didn't burn the
Rowdies with an offside call!

74 min Toronto  4 Alfaro Murcia replaces Holness
74 min Tampa Bay 15 Matt Knowles replaces Harbor

~75 min Tampa Bay yellow card Knowles for knock down

Final Score   Tampa Bay 2 Toronto 1

attendance unannounced (and down again to maybe 700). heatwave in town
for the last week.  The crowd was upset at the Blizzard's play for the
first time this season as they lose again and the final playoff spot
gets farther away.  Tampa Bay got 8 points in the standings (6 to win, 2
for goals) Toronto gets 1 point (1 goal)


game will be telecast Tuesday 7pm on Rogers Cable 10

Next home game  Sunday July 18 against Fort Lauderdale Strikers
