Final Score:.....York Region Shooters........4.....Brampton City United.......4.....

Attendance was about 100 on this mild early evening with a bright sun in the northwest and a gusty wind from the north (but both for only the first half). One of the YRS cornerflags actually tipped over in the wind.

Well certainly the most exciting game I've seen so far this year. Most 'unfair' thing about the game was that the Shooters had to play against a strong wind in the first half but the wind stopped dead at halftime and so they had no second half advantage. BCU were taking wind-aided 60 yard shots and goal kicks that were threatening the YRS goal and getting to long through balls for the first 45 minutes. I was shocked that YRS were able to score three goals in the last 10 minutes of the half to take the lead.

BCU took advantage of the man advantage from the moment of the sending off and scored the tieing and winning goal except that YRS scored a justified tieing goal at 90 minutes.

Referee Justin Tasev gave out five Yellow cards--three to BCU--that I noticed but two of the BCU ones were for excessive goal celebrating. The tough calls were for the Penalty kick and the Red card both favouring BCU. Both teams had later Penalty kick appeals denied and BCU had a goal called back at 82 minutes because a BCU player had flattened YRS defender Andre Manders in the box.

Best non-scoring chances were at 43 minutes when YRS Desmond Humphrey took a 40 yard freekick from the right that had YRS Fitzroy Christey head the ball back on the left end line for YRS Marcelo Capazzolo to blast a 12 yarder over the net. 1st half injury time (after all the scoring) had BCU Denny Velastegui get one last wind-aided kick away on a 50 yard shot from the left that was caught by the goalie at 15 yards in front of a BCU player. 55 minutes had the YRS goalie jump out of the way so as not to bump with BCU Milos Scepanovic (and possibly give them another Penalty kick try) just inside the box and let a defender make the clearance kick. 60 minutes had Scepanovic 'pushed' over in the box but the ref didn't award anything and drew a laugh when he gestered to levitate him as Scepanovic spun around with his arms up while sitting signalling what had happened to him. 64 minutes had Scepanovic take a 25 yard shot from 25 yards on the left that the diving goalie pushed wide right of the net. 82 minutes had BCU Alex Braletic beat a defender near the right end line and crossed into the box and the goalie and defender Manders team up to clear the ball from the sliding Andy Garcia. Same minute was thet 'no goal'call against BCU. 84 minutes had Scepanovic kick from the right that a defender behind the goalie cleared. Then BCU scored twice!

The result brings both teams up to 15 points but they lose ground based on other league results and I figure they are tied for 6th place.
