Final Score:..........Caribbean Selects..............2............Laval Dynamites............2............
Attendance was 20 (twenty) which included White Eagles owner Ken Stanojevich and Italia Shooters owners Tony and Cindy DeThomassis who’d be scouting for tomorrow’s game against Laval. The soccer game after this game had about 60 people watching an Asian league. The Selects still have over a month until their ‘home’ stadium Birchmount has been renovated and will be ready to occupy. I ran the scoreboard but couldn’t announce the goals because I didn’t have a line-up until after the game.
Selects goalie Ramon McIntosh had to be brilliant many times in the second half as a Dynamites player would often be alone up the middle at close quarters. At 48 minutes, LD Rachid Madkour raced up the middle from 25 yards on a through ball and his kick was partially blocked by the goalie and deflected off a defender’s foot and hit the crossbar. The goalie was back up in time to catch the rebound off the crossbar. At 58 minutes, LD Ceasar Castro charged up to blast a centered ball from 12 yards that was blocked by flying goalie standing 3 yards off line. At 74 minutes Madkour centering pass (soon after his own shot was saved) had Hicham Aaboubou’s 15 yard shot caught by flying goalie. Aaboubou was in on a 2 on 1 rush at 87 minutes and crossed that the goalie was able to push wide right.
The Selects goalie did get a break at 41 minutes when Andrew Oliviera (who played goal in last night’s game) received a cornerkick cross and his 25 yard blast is stopped by a defender on the right post that deflects for cornerkick. Dynamites missed a good chance at 68 minutes when LD Sandro Addesso beat a defender and his low cross from the left had a sliding LD Madkour miss connecting from 1 yard on the right post.
Dynamites made their one replacement at 56 minutes when Arturo Cisneros replaced Nicholas Knowland. I thought they would bring some more players in from Montreal today. Last night’s game may be understandable because of work commitments but tonight they were even shorter because they couldn’t use Lona Ouaidou who’d been Red carded against Serbian White Eagles. Still the players who were there made a good effort and actually looked better in the second half when I’d expect they’d be tiring. The Dynamites still have another game against Italia Shooters on this three games in three days road trip. Shooters should be favourites in that game.
