Final Score:.......TFC Academy........1............Serbian White Eagles..........2.............
Attendance was about 100 but that increased to about 150 by the end of the game as permit holders started coming in for their recreation league which started after this game ended. The game was being broadcast live in the City of Toronto by Rogers Community channel. The starting time was delayed by ten minutes because equipment in a broadcast truck was not working.
The ball was hard to see! I wasn't the only one to think this way as some referee assessors, broadcasting crew after the game and fans mentioned it. Lamport doesn't have very bright lights. TFC Academy is the only team that doesn't have to use CSL sponsor Givova's balls. They use Adidas balls and the ball is a silver/gray. That is fine for the MLS pro team who play at the well lit BMO Field a few blocks away but here at this dull stadium, it was difficult to make out the bounces and deflections.
TFC Academy were taking most of their freekicks very quickly trying to catch White Eagles before they had time to set up.
Both teams had chances that could have made this game a different result of put the game out of reach. The best were at 12 minutes when TFCA Stefan Vukovic rushed on left and crossed to center and TFCA Sergio Carmargo bent a 20 yard shot down the middle just wide right of the top corner. At 18 minutes Vukovic was fed a ball up the middle and he had a point blank shot from 10 yards stopped by the goalie who then got up and ran to the edge of the box to pick up the rebound. At 27 minute Vukovic had a 25 yard shot that was caught by the sprawling goalie. In first half injury time SWE Milos Scepanovic took a 25 yard freekick from near the right cornerflag and SWE Milan Rakic chipped a 12 yarder over the goalie and a defender headed the ball off the line. 46 minutes had TFCA Carmargo push a pass up the right to TFCA Tristan Jackman whose low 15 yard shot had the diving goalie stop and SWE defender Nikola Milosevic clear a split second before a TFCA tap-in. After that except for the goals that went in, there was nothing else in the second half that was really close to scoring. One SWE cornerkick had four defenders standing at the center line to guard two TFCA players also waiting at the center line waiting for a fast break pass.
Tonight's result improves the White Eagles record to 10-5-7 and they hop over Montreal Impact Academy into fifth place with one game in hand. TFC Academy record falls to 5-12-2 and they stay in eleventh in the fourteen team league. Top eight make the playoffs.
