Final Score:...York United FC.........2..........HFX Wanderers FC..........1..........
Attendance wasn't announced but it looked more than the last few night games. There's a lot of soccer to watch with England advancing to the Euro semi-finals in Penalty kicks which finished at 2:30pm. Then another Euro quartefinal started with Netherlands vs Turkiye. Also there are two Copa quarterfinals later tonight. Toronto FC is also on television tonight for an away game in Columbus Ohio. There are no good times for this CPL game to play today! Tomorrow there are no Euros nor Copa but two other CPL teams are hosting games so that would be tough on the One Soccer broadcaster although they have done three games a day before but that would mean this game would have had to start even earlier. And how many fans are still hung over after watching Canada beat Venezuela in Penalty kicks last night?
There was a misty rain that fell well before game time for all of five minutes then it veried between sunny and cloudy the rest of the day. I saw the roster and York were missing a lot of starters. Defender Orlando Botello was serving a suspension for Yellow card accumulation. Forward Austin Ricci was suspended too for a straigh Red card. Our injured were Oswaldo Leon, Matthew Baldismo, Tomas Giraldo, Dennis Salanovic and even back up goalie Elias Himaras who was injured earlier in the week in training. He was replaced by Michael Williams who is now age 17 from the Bryst Academy and first served as a backup at age 15. Returning from injury was midfielder Juan Cordova. The two teaas had 'loaned' a player to each other. Tomas Giraldo was one of the players on the injury list but HFX played Clement Bayiha as a starting midfielder. Markiyan Voytsekhovskyy scored his second goal of the year. This one was easy as he had a free header from a cornerkick that sailed over the crowd of players in the 6 yard box and he nodded a header over the goalie into the far side of the net. He had other chances too but was most likely to pass the ball away. He did take a shot at 57 minutes that was blocked but the ball deflected over to Juan Cordova who blasted a shot from inside the 18 yard box into the net for an insurance goal. Wow York with an insurance goal! Good thing as Wanderers scored at 86 minutes and then York were hanging on at the end. They couldn't win a Penalty kick in injury time and in fact HFX Zachary Fernandez drew a Yellow card for either complaining about the non-call or for faking his fall. I could have seen this call going the other way as so many CPL games are decided in the last minute. York forward Brian Wright had a rather quiet game today as he wasn't given much service playing as the lone forward. Referee Matthieu Souare gave out five Yellow cards today. (four to Wanderers although three could be considered for dissent). He also called a water break in the first half and one that may have been scheduled for the second half which developed when the York trainer had to enter the field at 73 minutes to treat an injury and player had enough time for a break and pep talk on the sidelines and the fourth official make a substitute.After the main game this time they did get a parents vs kids game in. Must have been about 80 people running around on the field. Last time the game was called off because of the hard rain that was falling and the threat of a thunderstorm closing in.
Last night Forge hosted Vancouver FC in a battle of second and third place teams. Vancouver FC scored a 90th minute goal and the game ended in a 2-2 tie. What that enabled York to do today is win and jump over both teams so they are now the holders of second place!
York improves their record to 6 wins, 2 ties, 5 losses for 20 points. They brought their goals for/goals against difference to 'zero' (19-19). It would be better if they didn't have so many blowout loss scores against Forge.
Hey another home win! They haven't lost a home game since their season opener against Forge back in April. A late e-mail arrived for me that said they have the best home record in the league. Last year they had the best road record but this year--not so good! 5-1-1 at home vs 1-1-4 on the road. The lack of ties is helping keep them near the top.
Wanderers record falls to 2 wins, 4 ties, 6 losses for 10 points and they stay in last place. They were on a five game unbeaten streak with their two wins coming in their last two games so the result was unpredictable. Head coach Patric Gheisar was named the Coach of the Month for June last week because of their recent record. The visitors have a huge following as some of the players and the current coaching staff have come through the League1 Ontario team Vaughan Azzurri who play only a few kilometres away from here.
