Final Score:.....SC Toronto......0....Serbian White Eagles......1....(after AET)

Attendance was about 100 on this cool night with rain varying between light and hard except for a short period between the halfs. People either seeked shelter under than shadow of the press box or lined the lower rows of the stands with with umbrellas.

The game was certainly not a classic with few opportunities by either team mostly caused by weather conditions. Passes sent forward skimmed across the artificial turf too far for charging forwards and were either over the end lines or picked up by the waiting goalie.

Milos Durkovic earned the shutout for the White Eagles. Both team's defenders played well limiting each team's chances.

Best non-scoring chances (that actually required saves rather than shots blasted off target) were at 82 minutes when SWE Nikola Miodrag took a 45 yard freekick from left had SWE Goran Vlaski in a crowd of players head a 10 yarder that goalie caught under the bar. 117 minutes had SWE Kirie Dimitrov crossed from 22 yards on left send in a pass to SWE Zoran Rajovic all alone and at 12 yards send a low shot that the sliding goalie caught at 6 yards.

Justin Tasev was the referee and only gave out one Yellow card to each team that I counted--the first not until 79 minutes.

The result of tonight's game is an upset in that SC Toronto was the 3rd seeded team and White Eagles were 6th. However SCT had lost their last two games and fallen from 2nd to 3rd place. White Eagles were unbeaten in four (including three wins) coming into tonight's game and had survived a four way tie for 7th in a pack of six teams trying for the last two playoff spots.

White Eagles opponent will not be known until tomorrow after the other three quarterfinals take place.
