Final Score:........Portugal FC........2.................Montreal Impact Academy..............3..........
Attendance was 64 said a man who did a head count. I'd say that number doubled by the end of the game as the Ultras league game was ready to start after this game ended. The game was broadcast live on Rogers Community channel. The evening temperature started off very hot but cooled by the second half.
I counted Portugal making six player changes during the game while two other people in the press box said they made seven changes. Last week I said the league had changed their policy this year to cut the maximum number of subs to five. Impact Academy made five. Another observer said the fitness level of PFC is not as good in the second half with the team tiring badly and letting the Academy catch up and win. I noticed few scoring chances for either team in the second half with most of the action in the midfield.
Montreal is supposed to have asked that the schedule be changed a few months ago to move their next game on Saturday afternoon rather than Sunday so they could get back to Montreal by Saturday night. They now have a game on Saturday afternoon at 1:15pm against North York Astros. Next weekend they have the same Friday/Saturday killer schedule. This was the year that a new league sponsor was brought on board to make hotel stays easier. After two game before last night, the Academy had only managed two ties at home against expansion teams this season. We'll see in just a few hours if their schedule does hurt them. Fans at the Astros game are reminded to wear an orange shirt and admission will be reduced for them to only $5.00.
