Final Score:…..Serbian White Eagles……..1…………TFC Academy……………0……….

Attendance was about 400 people on this cool late afternoon. Most of the fans were supporters of White Eagles. TFCA fans were mostly parents and family of the players. Danny Dichio and Nick Dasovic watched the game from the stands and Dichio signed autographs for the kids.

Dan Pelc earned the shutout for White Eagles but was ably supported by his backline of Uros Stamatovic, Dragorad Milicevic, Mirko Medic and Marc Jankovic. The Academy had scored 15 goals (7-1 against London City and 8-0 against North York Astros) in their last two games although they were against the two teams that didn’t make the playoffs.

TFCA defender Doneil Henry made a great sliding tackle on White Eagles Milos Vucinic at the start of the second half breaking in the left side of the box. White Eagles Milan Janorevic returned the favour at 76 minutes with a great scissor tackle pulling the ball away from TFCA Allando Matheson who was in alone at 10 yards.

Referee Gianni Facchini had a quiet game and didn’t give out any cards for the first hour of the game.

White Eagles take a 3-0 advantage in points to the next game. TFCA must win the rematch by any score next Saturday at Lamport Stadium to force a 30 minute overtime mini game immediately after that game. White Eagles as the higher ranking team got to choose if they wanted to host the first or second game. It will be interesting to see if getting a quick start is worth the gamble. Because the game is in Toronto, Serbians should have no trouble drawing fans as hundreds turned up for their regular season finale against Toronto Croatia.
