Final Score:……TFC Academy……0………Trois-Rivieres Attak…….3……….
Attendance was about 100 people on this hot, humid, and hazy afternoon. The fans were family of TFC Academy players and parents of the kids teams who played mini games at halftime. I hadn’t been to Lamport in over a month and not a matinee game but fans of the TFC main team weren’t here today. Referee Amato DeLuca wasn’t swayed by shouts from the parents for every nudge that an Academy player had to endure.
These two teams had played the night before in Oshawa and the Attak won 4-0. KAL from the Voyageurs message board posted that goalie Jarret Humphreys had been seriously injured near the end of the game. I asked a TFCA player and assistant coach Stuart Neely and they are uncertain how bad he’s injured until more tests are conducted. These two wins should vault the Attak to first place in their division.
Both of today’s goalies, Solitiri Varlokostas for TFC Academy and Gildas Toufilana for Attak were good in catching crosses from cornerkicks, chips and popped up headers. Toufilana earned a shutout today.
TFC Academy kept looking like they would get more clear chances than they did but it always seemed like the last man back would make a poke to stop a 2 on 1 break or breakaway.
Charles Gbeke and Pato Aguilera had great games for the Attak today. I was adding up with PA announcer Dave Rumack the teams that Gbeke had played for over the years. USL Montreal Impact, Vancouver, Toronto Lynx (when they were pro), and Rochester all from the USL and Ottawa Wizards of this CSL league.
The North York Astros vs. Toronto Croatia game I planned on going to on Sunday was instead bumped up to be exactly the same time as this game today. Oooh. Can’t cut into the fantastic crowds of 80 that Astros games usually draw! This game time was changed within the last week. Maybe if Croatia was in the Euro final but I can’t think of any Astros fan who is a follower of Germany and Spain. Well it gives me a day to stay home.
For the posters on Friday’s game who say the printouts of the lineups were incomplete, it was true in today’s program too but I had a copy of the referee’s sheets.
