Windsor Stays Third In West After 3 - 0 Win Over Sanjaxx

Windsor Stars got a much needed punch in the arm from two of their 
University of Windsor recruits Jumbo Iyowuna (46', 51') and 
Celso Carapau (56'), getting a 3-0 result over Sanjaxx Lions that 
retains their third place position in the west division. 

A clean sheet by Kyle Vizarakis ensured the points, on a day when 
the wind and piercing sun caused all sorts of strange bounces. 

"I think our boys struggled in the first half with the wind, and 
the fact it was zero zero and they were trying to score goals 
with one pass," said Windsor coach, Dave Rimbert.  

"I told them at half to get the ball on the ground, and knock 
it around before anything else can happen. I thought they were 
okay at that, but we're going to go back to training on this 
because it needs to get better."

Windsor would wake up in the second half, getting two from 
their big striker Iyowuna. 

"He worked hard, and took a couple chances which is good," 
said Rimbert. 

"He's doing well, and will keep improving because he is adapting 
to what I want him to do. He did a good job and finished 
a couple chances which is of course what you want from 
your striker."

Sanjaxx head coach Peter Mellon was happy with the way his 
side had started the match, but lamented their lack of focus 
in the second frame.

"The first half we kept to the game plan, had four good 
chances, and could have scored four goals in the first 
fifteen minutes," he said. "The second half, no - we gave 
away three unnecessary goals and that was it basically. 
It was all downhill after that."
