A young Toronto FC II squad will take away a lot of experience form a tough 3-0 loss to the 
Wilmington Hammerheads at Legion Field on Saturday evening.

Missing several key starters for this game - most notably Alex Bono and Raheem Edwards who who 
were both involved for Toronto FC that same night - the Young Reds shouldn't be too disappointed 
in a game that was closer than the scoreline suggests. 

Aidan Daniels, in particular, can feel slightly aggrieved that he didn't leave with two more goals 
to his name, only being kept off the score-sheet by the inspired play of Eric Ati in the 
Wilmington Hammerheads net. 

Daniels' long range shot in the 61st minute was fizzing into the top right corner before the 
keeper's intervention, and his 84th minute free kick dipped viciously after clearing the wall, 
but Ati was able to scramble across and get it away.

Hundal and Bernal again showed good link up play, with Bernal coming close after being slipped 
in behind the defence by Hundal, only to be forced wide by the alert Ati. 

Kota Sakurai replaced Shaan Hundal in the 76th minute, marking his first professional appearance.

The Young Reds will have a quick turnaround after their long drive back home, facing Bethlehem Steel 
at the Ontario Soccer Centre on Wednesday July 6th. Buy tickets here, or catch the livestream at tf2.ca
