Newsgroups: rec.sport.soccer

Here are my comments on the Canadian National Soccer League (CNSL) game
between Toronto Italia and Hamilton White Eagles played Monday August
21, 1995 at Etobicoke Centennial Stadium 8pm.  This was considered a CUP
match.

                             1 Goran Beader
6 Nestor Medina  8 Alfedo Oyaque  2 Goran Bakoc  5 Miodrag Ristic
3 Dragon Andic  7 Mirko Dakovic  12 Tommy Fiore  10 Sasa Vukovic
                4 Zoran Zubic  9 Fuseini Dauda

subs 11 Ivan Jurisic  15 Diaa Salah  17 Michael Hitchins  16 Herman

Toronto Italia (blue socks and shorts, white shorts and numbers)

                            1 Roman Harapyn
8 Mike Parmiatta  12 Frank Vaiano  5 Jens Kraemer  3 Franco Spadafina
2 Mike Mazza  11 Velomir Criljen  6 Peyvawd Mossavat  7 Anton Skerritt
                  10 Lalo Maradona  9 Peter Firebrace

* 4 Ralph Golan was announced as a starter but I only saw Vaiano out
there from very early in the game.

other subs 14 Tony Morrison  15 Velomir Koval  16 Nick Maxwell  22
Patrick Bradley

The referee was Frank Marcello, there were two women in the crew, one
was linesperson and the other was fourth official.


1st half  Italia defends south goal.  The wind was very strong
and gusty and this hurt Toronto's play.  When the second half started
and Italia had the north goal, the wind had died until the last 10
minutes.

9 min Harapyn beats Dauda to ball for diving save on through ball.
 
11 min Italia player hits short side of goalpost. Huge ten yard rebound
hit straight to recovered goalie.

18 min Vukovic launches free kick 20 yards out over 7 man wall hitting
crossbar, very gusty wind may have caused this.

21 min WEagle GOAL  Vukovic (8th of season) curves ball around 6 man
wall into right corner of net; a 25 yard free kick.

28 min WEagle goalie makes hand save on Skerritt who received cross.

32 min Italia sub  Bradley replaces Harapyn in Italia goal.  I don't
know why.

35 min WEagle yellow card Medina for hip checking Maradona who had deked
one guy but was running across goal about 20 yards out.

38 min Italia yellow Creljin for hard check at midfield.

43 min Italia yellow Mossavat for pushing aside slow Bakoc and spinning
him around.

2nd half

46 min  Italia 2nd yellow equals red! to Mossavat for 'hard' tackle.
Now this really hurt the Italia strategy.

51 min WEagle GOAL  Zubic (2nd of season) takes shot to far low left
corner of net after fast break.

58 min Italia sub  Maxwell replaces Mazza.
62 min Maxwell crosses and header goes over ball.

68 min WEagle yellow Oyaque? for tripping player 20 yards out.
Maradona boots resulting freekick and retake over net.

74 min WEagle sub Picotto for injured Medina
       Italia sub Morrison replaces Maradona

77 min Italia GOAL  Morrison runs down sideline and crosses to Maxwell
(4th of season) who takes shot from 5 yards out.

80 min around this time Italia pressure leads to free kick and two
corners.

83 min  Italia yellow  Bradley for injury to Parmiatta in crease.  That
results in a penalty shot.
Vukovic hits the right goalpost with hard shot.  The ball bounces back
past him and Fiore gets rebound shot high to top left corner of net.
WEagle GOAL  Fiore's (1st of season).

87 min WEagle sub  Whelan replaces Fiore.

88 min WEagle yellow Jurisic? I'm not sure why, and I'm not even sure
when he came on field if he did at all.

Final score     Toronto Italia         1
                Hamilton White Eagles  3
This result makes it most likely that both teams will not make the CUP
final as they tie for fourth and only two teams make the finals.  I'll
post the standings soon.  Look for the subject:  CNSL (S Ontario)
Results and tables.

Now I've got another game to type up.  Thursday's game between Toronto
Jets and St Catharines Wolves.

Bye for now
