Angelo Cavalluzzo is a challenge for LouCity once again
By Alexis Chevalier / Louisville City FC, 09/27/17, 11:15PM EDT 

Toronto FC II goalkeeper proves to be a challenge for the second time this season.

Louisville City FC missed out on an opportunity to clinch the Eastern Conference Wednesday night, 
falling to Toronto FC II 1-0. Goalkeepers from both teams had strong performances 
at the Ontario Soccer Centre.

“It’s very frustrating,” said Coach James O’Connor after the loss.  “It’s happened too often this 
season with that type of game where we end up losing a game we completely dominated… For all intents 
and purposes, when you completely dominated the game, you make mistakes, you’ve been the source 
of your own downfall.”

Despite an uneventful first half, LouCity was dominant in possession, having the ball 59% 
of the time. Defender Sean Totsch had a strong defensive performance for LouCity, helping keep 
Toronto scoreless in the first half.

Cameron Lancaster came out of halftime ready to play for his team, taking three shots 
in a two-minute span. Toronto FC II goalkeeper Angelo Cavalluzzo saved two of the three shots 
by Lancaster, with the third going wide of the goal.

LouCity’s closest chance to get on the board came in the 59th minute, when a header by Brian Ownby 
on a kick from Sean Totsch went over the line. The referee called Ownby offsides, therefore 
disallowing the goal and keeping the game knotted at nil.

Brian Ownby got another chance in the 69th minute, sending a shot high and on the path to going 
in the net, but Angelo Cavalluzzo made a big save for Toronto FC II to keep the game tied at 0.

Greg Ranjitsingh kept Louisville City FC in the game for as long as he could, making two saves 
before conceding a goal to Toronto’s Shaan Hundal in the 73rd minute. Despite having six minutes 
of stoppage time, Louisville City could not find the equalizer before the final whistle.

LouCity remains in first place in the Eastern Conference after tonight’s match. They will look 
to secure their Eastern Conference crown, as well as home field advantage, Saturday when 
they take on the Rochester Rhinos.
