Final Score:...Durham United FA....0...Woodbridge Strikers...2...

Attendance was about 50 on this cool night with the temperature falling 
as the night wore on.  The mosquitos didn't come out until the 
second half.  Strikers lost a ball in the swamp during warmups.  

Quillan Roberts earned the shutout for Woodbridge.  He was back after 
serving a one game suspension for Yellow card accumulation.  
Otherwise he has played every minute this season.  He had a few key 
saves to make and was fortunate that a few DUFA shots were off target 
in particular after DUFA went down a man.  

Taylor Lord had drawn his first Yellow at 32 minutes and I could hear
the Strikers players chatting about how they would now run at his 
position—holding central midfielder—as he couldn't risk making 
a hard challenge.  He took his second at 56 minutes for what looked 
like retaliation because WS Oscar Cordon had got away with a tackle 
on a DUFA player near the sideline a few seconds earlier.  

This was a pretty rough game.  Referee John Vlahos gave out seven 
Yellow cards (three to DUFA although two were to Lord).  
Vlahos even gave out a Yellow to the Woodbridge goalie John Scavone 
on the bench when he was called by a referee's asssistant to point 
out Scavone.  He was 40 yards upfield at the time giving out a Yellow 
to WS Joshua Paredes-Procter.  The referee let all the swearing 
by both teams go unpunished.  

DUFA had LeRohne Young injured in the first half and returned to play 
about three minutes later but did not return for the second half.  
DUFA Stefan Lamanna was injured at 61 minutes and was 
replaced immediately.  

Best Durham chances were at 26 minutes when DUFA Christian Moncrieffe 
takes a 30 yard freekick from the left and DUFA Cameron Brooks headed 
a 15 yarder up the middle that hit the bar. The surprises were being 
down a man. The DUFA goalie took a goalkick that a WS defender made 
a poor headed backpass and DUFA Jumbo Iyowuna was suddenly in alone 
and chipped the goalie from 25 yards and the ball rolled just wide 
right of the post.  The sloppiness of this play enraged the usually 
calm WS coach Peter Pinizzotto.  84 minutes had Tyrell Rayne charge 
down the right and 18 yard shot had the goalie swat wide left.  

Woodbridge had chances to put the game out of reach earlier but they 
had some shots blasted well off target.  The 'insurance' goal was set 
up and scored by two players who had both come into the game less 
than 15 minutes earlier.  

Michael Krzeminski played a defender but with the freedom to run up 
the wing and send in crosses—much the same as some of the MLS 
Toronto FC players this season.  He was one of the WS players 
(as well as some Vaughan Azzurri players) called in by Canadian 
National team coach Oscar Zambrano to train with the national team 
a week and a half ago.  Zambrano at his post game press conference 
after the Jamaican game praised the players he invited that he had 
first seen at the League 1 Ontario Cup Final between Woodbridge 
and Vaughan.   

Durham's record falls to a record of 8 wins, 7 losses, 3 ties 
for 27 points.  That leaves them in fourth place in the eight 
team Eastern Conference.  

The win improves Woodbridge's record to 12 wins, 2 losses, 4 ties 
for 40 points.  They are guaranteed to stay in first place in the 
East this weekend which is different in that they usually play the 
final game of the weekend when they have their games on Sunday nights.  
They hold a three point lead of Vaughan Azzurri who play 
on Sunday afternoon.
