Final Score:......Portugal FC..........1............North York Astros...........0.............

Attendance was about 150 on this hot and humid evening. The numbers apparently not effected by Manchester United vs Celtic international held at the Rogers Centre a few miles away!

Mike Silva had the shutout for Portugal. Both teams had plenty of shots but most were from 20 to 30 yards away. Best of the in-close chances were at 27 minutes when PFC Jarek Whiteman beat Astros Kurt Ramsey to a shadowed ball and he cut a cross behind the fallen Ramsey and PFC Gustavo Serrano blasted a 12 yard shot down the middle but well over the net. At 58 minutes, Astros Alexandre Oran's cornerkick from the left had Astros Mahyar Kohbad (the CSL's leading scorer) leap and head a 5 yarder wide right of the net. At 72 minutes a PFC player took a low 25 yard freekick up the middle and the goalie tried to smother ball but PFC Branko Majstorovic kicked the 7 yard rebound wide left of the goalie. The Astros goalie was injured in the face.

Astros have now lost three in a row including back to back losses to TFC Academy and are falling in the standings. Tonight's win for Portugal FC brings their record up to 4 wins, 5 losses, 2 ties and equals the Astros current record. PFC recovers from their last game which was a 5-0 home loss to Hamilton Croatia.
