Final Score:.......Portugal FC........1..............TFC Academy...........3..............

Attendance was about 150 on this hot, humid, overcast evening. It eventually climbed another 50 at the very end as another permit group waited to take to the field to play after this game.

Portugal FC president Isac Cambas confirmed after the game that goalie Quillan Roberts is only 15 years old. The team decided to use him Cambas said after they went to Montreal last week and he played very well and shut out the Impact Academy 2-0. Regular goalie Mike Silva was on the bench tonight. I feel he could have stopped any or all of these goals.

Portugal FC could easily have built up a lead in the first half but for all their missed opportunities of inaccurate shooting. The Academy goalie before the half was key to building up team confidence. Their third goal scored within a minute of the lone PFC goal killed any chance of a comeback for Portugal.

The Academy are getting by without Matt Stinson, Brendan McNicoll, and Allando Mattheson who have left the team for scholarships. Defender Doneil Henry was also not in tonight's lineup. Their places are filled by Junior Academy players that were inserted into the lineup and last night the moves were flawless. [It turns out Doneil Henry, Ashtone Morgan and Nicholas Lindsay were away with Canada's National Under 20 team]. Sylviu Petrescu continues to referee a few CSL games as well as being an MLS referee. PA announcer Ennio found out he'll be the referee for the Toronto FC vs Cruz Azul (of Mexico) in the CONCACAF championship group game at BMO Field on Tuesday night rather than a more (in visiting team theory) 'neutral' referee from the USA. Tonight he gave out a few cards in a not too rough game between two well disciplined teams.

This game was broadcast on Rogers Community channel. In the last few weeks there was a rumour that City of Toronto was only going to let Rogers have one hour before the game started to enter the stadium and set up their mobile equipment which Rogers said they couldn't do in that short period of time but it looks like for now the problem has been resolved. Now the latest news is there will be no more television broadcasts from London for either 1. the same set-up rules, 2. not enough fans, or 3. the channel has enough commitments in covering the local baseball team in the playoffs. I'll have to look over the Rogers London television schedule to see if broadcasts are shown (London City didn't play last night).

Tonight's win jumps TFCA Academy two spots into 3rd place. Five teams have broken away (by at least six points) from the rest of the thirteen team league. Portugal FC are that 6th place team for now but could get knocked down by other results later this weekend.
