Gameday Report: July 31, Week 19 By USLLeagueOne.com Staff, 07/31/19, 6:15PM EDT Madison secure big win in push for playoffs Toronto FC II (1) vs Forward Madison FC (4) Forward Madison FC defeated Toronto FC II, 4-1, Wednesday afternoon at BMO Training Ground. Key Events: Paulo Jr. opened the scoring for Forward Madison just before halftime after Don Smart found him with a cutting through ball from near midfield. Paulo Jr. ran onto Smart’s pass and chipped the ball over goalkeeper Yann Alexandre Fillion to put the visitors up 1-0. Madison doubled its lead in the 61st minute as Paulo Jr. completed his brace. Paulo Jr. received a pass from Oliver White just inside Toronto’s half and dribbled his way past multiple defenders before firing a shot past Alexandre Fillion from close range to give the Flamingos a 2-0 lead. Paulo Jr.’s goals against TFC II were his third and fourth of the season. Paulo Jr. turned from goal-scorer to playmaker in the 65th minute as he sprung Carter Manely free inside the penalty area after a neat exchange of passes. TFC II center back Rocco Romeo got a foot on Manley's shot, but couldn’t keep it out. Romeo was credited with an own goal as Madison made it 3-0. After coming on as a substitute, Jordan Perruzza scored his eighth goal of the season to cut the deficit to two goals. Liam Fraser played Perruzza through from just inside Madison’s half and the 18-year old striker made no mistake, slipping a shot past Dayne St. Clair to bring him within one goal of North Texas SC’s Ronaldo Damus in the Race for the Golden Boot. TFC II’s Griffin Dorsey was issued a second yellow card for breaking up a Forward Madison counter attack in the 81st minute, forcing his side to play down a man for the remainder of the match. Brian Bement extended the Flamingo’s lead back to three goals as he knocked in fellow substitute Louie Bennett’s cross from close range to make it 4-1 in the 86th minute. The goal was Bement’s second of the season. The win temporarily moves Forward Madison into the fourth and final playoff position, tied on points with Chattanooga Red Wolves SC who play in Lansing later tonight. The Flamingos became just the second team to defeat TFC II in Canada Wednesday afternoon, grabbing their third road win in the process which has them tied for the most wins away from home by a League One club this season. Madison will look to keep the positive momentum going when they return home to host FC Tucson on Saturday night. After starting the season 4-0-3 on home turf, Toronto has now lost their last two matches at BMO Training Ground. To make matters worse, both losses came against clubs below them in the table, which allowed Madison to leapfrog them following Wednesday’s result. With just one win in their previous five matches, TFC II has fallen to eighth place in the League One standings, but are still just two points out of the playoff positions. They’ll look to right the ship when they close out their five-game homestand next Friday against Greenville Triumph SC. 4-5-1 4-1-4-1 Toronto FC II Forward Madison 1 4 July 31, 2019 4:00 PM Venue BMO Training Ground Attendance 64 Referee Myriam Marcotte Toronto FC II 30 Fillion GK 19 Dorsey DF 73' Yellow card, 81' RED card (2nd Yellow) 5 Morgan (C) DF 45' subbed out 15 Zavaleta DF 45' subbed out 61 Romeo DF 65' OWN GOAL 14 Chapman MF 39 Petrasso MF 50 Srbely MF 27 Fraser MF 87' Yellow card 58 Faria MF 20 Akinola FW 67' subbed out Substitutes 40 Klenofsky 42 Bunk-Andersen 45' subbed in 57 Mohammed 45' subbed in 35 Essoussi 37 Waja 64 Hundal 77 Perruzza 67' subbed in, 68' GOAL Manager Rabasca Forward Madison FC 97 St. Clair GK 2 Manley DF 27 Díaz DF 22 Omsberg DF 13 Tobin (C) DF 3 Leonard MF 7 Smart MF 78' subbed out 29 J.C.
