Final Score:.........North York Astros............0...........Brampton Stallions............0...........

Attendance was about 40 people on this warm humid night.

Roy Blanche earned the shutout for the Stallions with his aggressive play often running out of the box to clear away through balls. Astros goalie Arthur Zaslavski earned the shutout for the Astros. He also had to be sharp on a few plays.

Best chances were at 6 minutes when Michael Aigbokie’s 29 yard freekick up the middle had Zaslavski block on the left post although he fumbled it and it dropped behind the end line for a cornerkick. At 24 minutes, Astros Janarthan Sadacharalingam (who got in good crosses in all night and who I’d call the non-goalie man of the match) is tipped the ball as he charges in on the right and Blanche charges out of box to make standing point blank save from 25 yards. At the start of the second half Astros Jahmo Welch snaked a 25 yard shot just wide right of the top corner of net. Welch followed up with a cross from 35 yards on the left that had an Astros forward pop up a header and Blanch charge forward to catch it. At 51 minutes the referee ordered an Astros team official off the bench for swearing. At 67 minutes a Stallions player heads the ball over the goalie on the edge of the box and the ball rolls and hits the left post and an Astros defender clears. At 79 minutes Stallions defender Andres Gavioli covered for his goalie who’d missed the ball and Gavioli booted the ball out of the box. In injury time Stallions Kevin McIntosh took an 18 yard freekick up the middle and he chipped over the wall but Zaslavski caught the ball under the bar and threw up field for a fast break but the referee whistled the end of the game.

The game was supposed to start at 8:30pm although at the beginning of the season it was scheduled for 9:00pm. The game actually kicked off at 8:42pm. The Stallions were scrambling for players and started the game with only twelve but as the game wore on they eventually made four subs. That may have been the reason for them stalling the start of the game. I was able to make it to the stadium by 8:30pm even though the Lynx game had just ended half hour earlier. I could probably only do that on a Sunday night without traffic.

I was assured of the playoff structure and that is eight teams make the playoffs. Three from each of the two divisions and two wildcards with the next best records. There will be no automatic spots for the hosts so if North York Astros don’t make the playoffs they won’t be playing. With Toronto based teams expected among the best like Serbian White Eagles and Toronto Croatia, there should be good crowds for the Final Four on the Thanksgiving weekend
