Etobicoke Centennial Stadium

                Montreal Impact (blue socks, black shorts, black/blue
striped shirts, white numbers)

                Toronto Rockets (white socks, shorts, shirts, blue
numbers and striped slashes over right shoulder and left thigh; like
Liverpool or Canadian Nat team except in blue)
                        1 Pat Onstead

ref Les Wilcox, linesmen Hepworth and Mantle, 4th Chocha

1st half
26 min Montreal GOAL Barker follows up a scramble after a free kick
27 min Montreal yellow Gyau for foul on Ianiero near centre line
'36:58'min Montreal GOAL after long cross to far side of net, Rizi heads
over to Harbor who kicks it in.
Summary:  Many more scoring chances by both teams than their previous
Toronto meetings.

2nd half
48 min yellow cards to both Copetti and Barker while they were 50 yards
downfield waiting for a freekick.  Looks like they were joustling but
cards given out only after ref consulted with linesman.
54 min Toronto subs 5 Jens Kramer replaces Ianiero and 7 Billy Dalombo
replaces Nocita.  Montreal subs 19 Abdel Sahrane replaces Harbor.
60 min Montreal GOAL centering shot that DeSantis scores on. Onstad got
a piece of it.
61 min 12 Patrick Diotte replaces Limniatis
75 min Toronto yellow card Sarantopoulos for dissent 30
yards from play.
81 min Montreal yellow card Ianiero for sideline
challange on Dalombo
Summary: Montreal continued to tear the Rocket defense to shreds.
Onstad saved three breakaways after the score was already 3-0 but two of
them looked offside to me.

Review:  Montreal got the "perfect" APSL result as they won 3-0
Montreal gets 9 points for that (6 to win plus 1 per goal/max 3)
Toronto gets 0.
Montreal flips over Toronto in the standings into 6th place with a game
in hand.  Toronto is alone in 7th=last at 2 wins 5 losses.
Attendance was unannounced of course but there looked like there was
about 900.  Monday is a Civic Holiday in this province.  This was the
Rockets only Sunday game this season.  C'mon though!  Last year's
attendance at Esther Shiner stadium drew 1805 average and that was when
they were in the CNSL (semi pro ethnic league).

next home games:  Friday August 5th vs Los Angeles Salsa
                  Friday August 12th vs Fort Lauderdale Strikers
                  Wednesday August 17th vs Vancouver 86ers

Tonight's game will be broadcast on Rogers Cable 10 on:
                Wednesday August 3rd at 9pm
        and     Thursday August 4th at 4pm.
