London City winds up winless on road
By STEVE KIPPEN, Free

London City limped home yesterday after a 7-0
drubbing at the hands of the first-place Ottawa Wizards to wrap up their
two-game Canadian Professional Soccer League road trip winless.
London lost
the opening game of the road trip 3-0 on Saturday to the Montreal Dynamite.
"It's been a long road trip," City general manager Harry Gauss said. "It
definitely took a toll on us."
Ottawa only led 1-0 at halftime, thanks
largely to the outstanding goaltending from City 'keeper Scott Mueller.
To
start the second half, City defender Steve Flatt was forced to leave the game
with a groin injury and leaving a hole in the middle of the defence. Ottawa
didn't wait long to expose City's weakness, scoring four goals in 14 minutes to
put the game out of reach at 5-0.
"When the flood gates opened in the second
half, they really opened," said Gauss.
Kevin Nelson led the Ottawa attack
with three goals while Samir Karaga, Sanjeer Parmar, Mohamad Osman and Mario
Andradanac added singles.
City is back in action on Friday night at Cove
Road when the team plays host to the Glen Shields Sun Devils. Game time is 8:38
p.m.
