HITMEN WHACK LONDON CITY
London City may have dominated the
play but when the final whistle sounded yesterday in Brampton, City was on the
losing end of a 3-2 Canadian Professional Soccer League loss to the Bramton
Hitmen. Trailing 1-0 at halftime, City tied it early in the second when Jurek
Gebczynski found the back of the net on a nice feed from Gentjen Dervishi at the
46-minute mark. Ten minutes later, Gentjin Buzali put City up 2-1 on a header
off a corner kick from 14 yards out. London continued to control the play but in
the 76th minute, City 'keeper Abe Hadzic was injured when he slammed his back
into the goalpost while making a save. It didn't take Brampton long to even the
score at 2-2 when Phil Ionadi lopped a headball over new City goalie Scott
Mueller. In the 90th minute, a defensive miscue by pair of London defenders and
a misread by Mueller left Adolfo Mella with an empty net from 12 yards out for
the victory. City is back in action Wednesday night when the team travels to
Toronto to play Croatia, returning to Cove Road Field on Friday night for an
exhibition game with the University of Louisville.
