Final Score:....TFC Academy........4.....SC Waterloo....1..
Attendance was about 125 on this warm evening with the temperature falling quickly as the sun set. Some fans were singing but that wasn't until the second half.
Most of the first half was played in the Waterloo end but the SCW club looked more offensive minded in the second half but that's when TFCA scored all their goals.
The flying headers reminded me of the Toronto FC MLS game on Wednesday against Portland with Eric Hassli making a diving header to get the ball into the center of the box for Luis Silva to score. There were a few of those plays in tonight's game by TFCA. SCW had some good give and go plays.
Best non-scoring chances were at 17 minutes when TFCA Nikola Paunic slid in to poke the ball away and knocked the ball with his arm away from SCW Drazen Vukovic when he came rushing into the box from the right and only a cornerkick was given. 27 minutes had TFCA Nicholas Lindsay leapt and take a 6 yard header down the middle that the goalie swatted away. Two minutes later Sergio Camargo deked the goalie in the box but the fallen goalie reached back and grabbed the ball off him. 52 minutes had a SCW cornerkick from the right have SCW Adis Hasecic flick-foot an 8 yard shot over the net. 58 minutes had SCW Mirza Colic intercept a clearance and chip from 25 yards in the middle to Vukovic who shot from 15 yards on the left and hit the bar.
TFCA's Nicholas Lindsay continues to recoup from an off season injury before the 2011 season and hasn't played in the MLS in either 2011 and 2012. He played a strong 68 minutes tonight as a winger.
Another goal for SCW captain Drazen Vukovic which would bring his total up to 11 this year and is among the top 3 scorers. The players were communicating in serbian from what I could figure out.
The win for TFC Academy improves their record to 9-3-2 good for 3rd place. SC Waterloo stays in 11th place with a now 6-8-0 record.
