Final Score:......Caribbean Selects........1...........Toronto Supra Portuguese........6...........
Attendance was about 50 on this hot humid evening. This game was hastily arranged when Italia Shooters didn’t want to play this game when they have their Open Canada Cup quarterfinal game tomorrow night. Toronto Supra Portuguese would have been the home team against Shooters tonight. This would have been the stadium where they would have played. This game was moved up from Saturday August 19th but the Selects home stadium will still not be ready. Birchmount Stadium is now not scheduled to be available until September. Most of the fans looked like Supra supporters. An opportunity lost with hundreds of thousands of tourists downtown this weekend for the Caribana festival. I’m still recovering from sunburn yesterday watching the Caribana parade.
This was actually the first win by Toronto Supra Portuguese this season. They’ve had six ties and only three losses during league play so they are competitive and tonight they won comfortably. Michael Silva only had to catch or punch away a few long crosses to keep the Selects from scoring on all but the Penalty kick. Selects haven’t won a game since June 17th and are starting to get blown out of their games. Both teams don’t stand much chance of catching the top three in the International Division or a wildcard position from the National Division.
I saw Ken Stanojevic from Serbian White Eagles scouting this game. Yesterday afternoon they hosted Santa Clara of the Portuguese second division and played them to a 0-0 tie on rather short notice in front of 400 people. Tomorrow, Italia Shooters host Brampton Stallions at The Soccer Centre. After hearing that Ottawa St Anthony’s Italia beat Windsor Borderstars 1-0 tonight, the winner of tomorrow’s game will be the only CSL team left in the semi-final. OK some of that pressure is off because London City is back in as a Wildcard team as hosts for the Labour Day weekend tournament.
