Final Score:....Serbian White Eagles.......1.......York Region Shooters.............2..........

Attendance was about 100 on this hot and humid night with the setting sun not a factor in the opening minutes.

Referee Jeff Fearnall gave out one Yellow card to each team that I counted on what wasn't a rough game although there were a few injuries.

Shooters had more of the possession in this game and the more dangerous shots. They limited the SWE shots and broke up a lot of passes by stepping in front of them as SWE players waited for the ball to roll to them. shooters never seemed to take anything but short cornerkicks and quickly too but couldn't catch SWE off guard.

Richard West played for Serbian White Eagles last year and led the team with 15 goals. Today he was up front with Shooters teammates Ali Hamam and Matthew Rios. Francisco Javier Perez who is new to this year's team was feeding them passes from the midfield.

Best non-scoring chances of the game were at 16 minutes when SWE Ramon Bailey took a 28 yard freekick from the right that had SWE Goran Vlaski tip a 15 yard shot just wide right of the net. 58 minutes had YRS Nicolas Martinez take a 20 yard shot that hit the football bar just a foot above the soccer bar. 78 minutes had YRS West steal a ball off a defender at 30 yards and run up the middle and in alone shot just wide left of the post from 15 yards. 81 minutes had YRS West given a through pass on his own side of center and he rushed to 15 yards and shot and the goalie saved it with his face taking the brunt to block it.

White Eagles record falls to 2 wins, 5 losses, 1 tie while Shooters improve to 5 wins, 2 losses, 1 tie. Both teams have games on Sunday with White Eagles travelling across town to play Astros Vasas and Shooters hosting Windsor. A shuffle in the start times means it may be possible for me to see both games.
