Final Score:.....Toronto Serbian White Eagles.....1.....Santa Clara (Portugal)......2.....
Attendance started off at about 300 then was maybe 500 at halftime and 600 by the end of the game when the Braga game was scheduled. Tickets were $40 each for tonight's doubleheader and $60 for the weekend package that would have two more games on Sunday.
Santa Clara looked like the better team but not by much. The White Eagles goal in the first minute of the second half made the game close right up to the final whistle. Santa Clara is a second division team in the Portuguese leagues. Their home is on the Azores Islands.
Lamport Stadium was a mess with a burnt out scoreboard and that parking lot asphalt calibre Astroturf. I don't think I was there last year but they've even let the American football lines start to fade away. (not Canadian because there's only 100 yards between football goal lines, not 110). It had rained for much of the day (long over by game time) and the field was still slippery. Balls passed wide often rolled out of bounds and blocked shots often bounced out of bounds.
