Final Score:……Brampton Lions………1…………Windsor Border Stars…………1……….
Attendance was about 100 on this hot and humid evening. Mosquitoes were out in the second half after it got dark.
It was a surprise after the earlier scoring that the goals dried up after that. The chances of both teams continued for the rest of the game. I was here three weeks ago when Brampton beats Windsor 5-0. Last Saturday however the teams tied 1-1 in Windsor.
Second half tries include Lions Orlin Chalmers low cross from 25 yards that had the goalie catch a half step ahead of a Lions player getting a foot to tip the ball in from 6 yards at 55 minutes. Chalmers got in a 30 yard cross from the right that the charging goalie caught at 57 minutes. A minute later WBS Aaron Byrd got a through ball on the right and chipped the goalie from 25 yards but the ball was just wide left of net. 60 minutes found Lions Daniel Nascimento take a 30 yard blast that the goalie batted down just under the bar and have time to pick it up. At 62 minutes Lions Miles O’Connor pushes the ball forward to Lions Andrew DaSilva on 1 on 2 and he blasts a 25 yard shot wide right of net. At 67 minutes WBS Gino Berardi crossed from the right side of box and the ball was just over two leaping WBS players in the box. At 69 minutes, Lions Miles O’Connor 35 yard freekick from right was just a step ahead of three Lions players charging into the box including a sliding player only three yards from the left post. At 74 minutes Miles O’Connor again had a 35 yard freekick into the box just a step ahead of his sliding brother/team captain Matt O’Connor so the goalie made an easy save. A minute later Andrew DaSilva chipped a 35 yard kick that the WBS goalie twisted his body to catch 5 yards off his line. A minute later WBS Mike Cezar took a cornerkick from the right that the leaping Lions goalie caught over a WBS player waiting to head ball in from 3 yards. At 77 minutes, Lions Nordo Gooden charged along the right to get to his goalie’s long punt and one-touched 25 yard chip just wide left of net. At 80 minutes Lions Orlin Chalmers 25 yard ball into box had the goalie leap to punch ball out of the box and the rebound shot was blocked by a defender outside the box.
Windsor only brought two substitutes. That must have been frustrating as Lions brought on four sets of fresh legs throughout the second half pressing for the winning goal. Border Stars had Mike Cezar play goal in the first half and move up to be a midfielder for the second bringing in Milan Marsic in net replacing an outfield player. (They brought four substitutes in the game they lost 5-0).
