Final Score:...Durham United FA...2...North Toronto Nitros...1...

Attendance was about 35 tonight on this game that was moved from 
Kinsmen Park a few kilometres away in an announcement this afternoon. 
It had rained twice already today and that would ruin the surface 
of the natural grass field. Pickering Soccer Centre is an indoor 
complex and was used for some of DUFA's early games this season. 
I suspect some fans didn't read the message about the change in venue 
and didn't feel like watching a game in the rain. During the first 
half I could hear the rain on the roof and the entire drive home 
was through drizzle.

Referee Alexis Vaughan gave out no cards tonight. The game wasn't 
rough but there was a set of injuries that required the trainers. 
She had to call one drop ball as a clearance hit the ceiling.

DUFA looked like they'd pick up the win in the second half but 
couldn't get an insurance goal to make things easier so right 
up until the end, Nitros were looking for a way to tie.

Two minutes after the winning goal DUFA Tyrell Rayne rushed downfield 
and rolled a cross from the left through the 6 yard box unplayed. 
76 minutes had DUFA Christian Moncrieffe pass the ball forward 
on the right for a charging DUFA Kashiff DeJonge who ran towards the 
end line and crossed along the 6 yard line and DUFA Shaud Claud Lawson 
put his head down and headed the ball over the bar. Head coach 
Sanford Carabin said he should have used his chest. 78 minutes had 
NTN Jayden Doyle take a cornerkick from the right and the goalie 
swatted the ball away while falling over a crowd of players 
as he jumped. 81 minutes and another NTN cornerkick from the left 
had the ball ping pong between NTN players Nikolay Saveliev and 
Niklas Bauer on the edge of the 6 yard box and the ball deflected 
wide left for a goalkick. 85 minutes had Saveliev rush down the 
middle and he rolled a pass to Doyle on the right who shot 
a low 20 yarder through the defenders and the goalie smothered 
on the right post.

The win improves Durham's record to 11 wins, 7 losses, and 3 ties 
for 36 points. They move up to third place all alone in the eight 
team Eastern Conference with one more game in their season. 
Head coach Sanford Carabin was reminding his players that they've 
never finished as high as number three in previous seasons.

The loss drops Nitros to 10 wins, 8 losses, 3 ties for 33 points 
with one game to go. They fall to fourth place in the East. 
They finished third place last year, one place ahead of Durham.
