Final Score:.....TFC Academy..........1..............Serbian White Eagles.............1.............

Attendance was about 150 on this hot and humid evening. The crowd was actually larger than the last few games at BMO Field right after the MLS Toronto FC game and last week when they were bumped to Brockton Stadium. White Eagles had some fans at tonight's game.

Gianni Facchini was the referee tonight and didn't give out many cards between the two well disciplined teams.

White Eagles used veteran Sasa Viciknez the start tonight and kept him in for 86 minutes. Shawn Brown was brought in at 60 minutes for the offensive and replaced the other SWE forward, Stefan Vukovic.

Best non-scoring chances were at 14 minutes when TFCA Allando Matheson rolled a pass to Jonathan Almedia at 15 yards and from 6 yards had SWE Mirko Medic make a sliding tackle to poke the ball away. Just after the TFCA goal, SWE Sasa Viciknez took a 10 yard shot down the middle that was just wide right of the post at 50 minutes. At 66 minutes, Matheson broke in on a defender's miscue and his 10 yard shot was stopped point blank by the goalie At 78 minutes Milos Scepanovic cornerkick from the right had a charging Viciknez head the ball from 6 yards just wide right of the net.

TFC Academy players are all trying to make the MLS Toronto FC some day. Some injured players in the press box said there will be some changes to this 'senior' team that plays in the CSL in that some of the players will be taking scholarships and be off to school in late August and their places will be taken by some of the 'junior' team players who play on the TFCA team in the CSL Reserves League.

Closest to making Toronto FC though is White Eagles goalie Milos Kocic. Dragan from the White Eagles is worried that soon TFC will pull its 'loan' of the player and bring him on to the MLS team as their Number 1 goalie. Negotiations are being worked out to have Stefan Frei transferred to English Premier side Stoke City for 3 million UK pounds. MLS league will keep 65% and TFC 35% of the transfer fees. Deadline for this is August 31st.

Kocic has had experience playing in the MLS as he's played for DC United in the past. He also played for Toronto FC earlier this year in the final game of the Nutrilife Canadian Championship against Vancouver Whitecaps when they had already clinched the trophy with one game to go. Ironically that was also the game that seven TFC Academy players were named to the MLS roster for that game.

Tonight's tie brings the White Eagles up to a three way tie for 6th place although they have four games in hand on the teams they're tied with. TFC Academy are held back from leaping into a tie for 2nd place in the thirteen team league.
