Final Score:....Mississauga Eagles FC.....3....Kingston FC.....0....

Attendance was about 100 on this warm evening with a setting sun in the north west.

Matthew George earned the shutout for the Eagles. He had a few shots to stop but KFC couldn't get close enough and when they did had to rush their shots and had some actually blocked by a defender.

Best non-scoring chances were 5 minutes when MEFC Laudelino Jose DeSousa took a 20 yard shot from the left that hit the bar near the left side. 61 minutes had KFC Ryan McCurdy's 30 yard freekick down middle had flying goalie push wide left of net. The resulting cornerkick by George-Anthony El-Asmar from the left was over the leaping goalie and KFC Olivier Rieuford headed an 8 yarder wide right of the open net. Melo's goal effectively killed off the competition and they finished by emptying their bench that they'd started at 65 minutes.

Mack Meloche was the referee for this game. He gave out a few Yellow cards but controlled the game. He sent players to the sideline to fix their undershorts when he found (on both teams) that they didn't match their shorts.

The field needs a portable generator to control the portable scoreboard and sound system. It had been overfilled with gas so it wasn't working at the start of the game which meant one more stadium I've visited that had to pass on the national anthem. When it was working they hit hard with sale of 'swag' from the concession table. I suggested they start selling mosquito spray with the MEFC logo on the bottle at double the store price and they could make a fortune.

MEFC record evens out at 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie while KFC falls to 2 wins, 4 losses, 1 tie. While both teams have 7 points MEFC has played two fewer games and is ahead of them in a five way tie for eighth place.
