Final Score:.........Serbian White Eagles.........0.........Portugal FC.........0............
Attendance was about 125 on this mild night with gusty winds from the north west. Today a record hot temperature hit the city for the highest temperature at this time of year ever but starting in the evening the temperature was cooling.
Milos Kocic earned the shutout for the White Eagles. Mike Silva did the same for Portugal FC. Both teams had good runs and passing until they got to within 20 yards of goal and they'd have the ball poked away by defenders are make a bad pass or have their shot attempt blocked.
Referee Joe Audi only gave out a few cards and most of them were for obstruction like hockey hip checks breaking up a player's run.
Best scoring chance was in the second half when at 67 minutes, SWE Sasa Viciknez took a wind-aided 26 yard freeekick up the middle that had the goalie block and SWE Milos Scepanovic miss connecting on a 5 yard blast from the left post.
White Eagles have now not won in eight games although six of these games have been ties. The team has fallen from first to fourth over this time. The team has just lost the ability to score. New head coach Nicky Budalic mixed things up by keeping strikers Sasa Viciknez and Shawn Brown on the bench until well into the second half. The team had most of the chances in the second half but that was partially the weather conditions with a strong wind from the north. That really took the momentum off PFC shots and added to the power of White Eagles chances. That did work against them too because goalie's punts and long through passes rolled over the PFC end line a few times.
Portugal remains a point behind the White Eagles in a tie for fifth place.
