1st half
2 min Yellow London: Best draws a yellow for flattening Ferreira
16 min Gamble heads one wide from 5 yards out for Italia
19 min Italia GOAL: Maradona is hip checked 20 yards from goal, his
freekick hits the wall but the rebound dribbles sideways to Ferreira
who is about 15 yards out and 10 yards wide of net. Ferreira shoots an
arcing banana shot into top corner of far post after catching goalie
on wrong side of net.
30 to 35 min Italia applies pressure and has numerous corners and
crosses.
45 min London GOAL: Eldridge takes pass 7 yards from net and boots it
in.
2nd half
54 min Yellow London Brown draws it for clipping Gamble. Gamble is
pulled to endline where trainers work on his leg for about 10 minutes.
It was the second time that City had complained; first for the lack of
an offside flag, and now for a ball that appeared to go past the touch
line for goalie's ball.
58 min Italia sub 14 Tony Morrison replaces injured Gamble.
67 min Harapyn stops driving City free kick
70 min Italia yellow: Maradona for being too close in a one man wall
trying to block free kick.
72 min City yellow/red Best draws 2nd yellow for for a clip of Bakoe
at midfield. This gave Italia a man advantage about 20 minutes later
than last Monday's game against St Catherines Wolves which they lost!
75 min Alexander (?) blasts 40 yard shot that hits the crossbar where
it joins the goalpost.
77 min City Commisso hits the crossbar from 15 yards out on a failed
clearance.
78 min Italia sub 12 Omer Patrick Tobo replaces Kowal
79 min Italia yellow Ferreira draws it for check on Brown at City 30
yard line.
85 min City yellow Commisso for flipping Ferreira over him from 25
yards out.
86 min Italia GOAL Morrison takes shot 1 yard out after cross along
line from freekick (City was calling out for something but ref let
kick be taken). Lineswoman ignores City offside appeal.
89 min City yellow Taggart for knocking down leaping goalie Harapyn
after he'd caught ball. Looked like he'd put his hand in Harapyn's
stomach on the way by.
about 5 minutes of injury time was added.
