Final Score:....ANB Futbol.......2......Pro Stars FC......2.....

Attendance was about 80 on this mild and humid night.

Referee Justin Tasev gave out four Yellow cards that I counted (two to each team).

Both teams had chances for more goals. 32 minutes had ANB Jason Mills fed a pass down the middle and he charged in from 30 yards and his 12 yard shot deflected wide left off the sliding goalie at 8 yards. Two minutes later Pro Stars Mujtaba Ameen got a pass from the left and his low shot up the middle from 20 yards was caught by the goalie. 38 minute had ANB Jason Mills backheel a pass forward and ANB Belrum Vartanian took a low 20 yard shto that was saved by the sliding goalie near the left post. 51 minutes had Pro Stars Rachaun Palmer get to the ball after the ANB goalie jumped and missed an overhead catch at 10 yards but Palmer chipped that ball up and the goalie got back into the play to block the shot. The next minute Pro Stars David Alva took a 30 yard freekick from the right that a defender headed away just inside the box but Pro Stars Pawel Sokolowski blasted a shot from 30 yards through players that the goalie saved. 78 minutes had ANB Mansoor Afzaly chip a freekick from 30 yards that ANB Shiquan Lowe stopped it, turned, and fired a low 15 yarder that the goalie smothered on a sliding save at 3 yards. ANB had a few more chances both before and after their tieing goal.

Same script as last week's game with Adonijah Reid scoring late to save the game for ANB (although last week it was the only goal of the game for the winner). He came in at 60 minutes tonight (halftime last week) and scored at 90 minutes instead of 86. Only difference is he had switched from uniform number 15 to 22 for tonight's game—although his age remains 15!

Pro Stars FC is one of three new team's in the league this year. I noticed a few staff and players that I've come across over the years. Thomas Winski played on Master's FC last year and before that with Serbian White Eagles of the CSL. Darragh Roe played for Mississauga Eagles of the CSL. Team head coach Josef Komlodi and assistant coach Paul Dhillon were with the Eagles. Another assistant coach Gabriel Pop was a leading scorer for Serbian White Eagles almost ten years ago. Pro Stars played their home opener at Lamport Stadium last week and lost 2-0 to Durham United. It's their only game at that stadium as they will play their games at Victoria Park in Brampton (which in past years with its grass field always opened later in the season).
