Final Score:......Serbian White Eagles..........2...........St Catharines Wolves.............0.............
Attendance was about 100 on this cool night for this rescheduled midweek game. The game should have been played Friday May 21st but the field had not been readied a week and a half after a track meet. Interesting that this stadium was supposed to host a game last night between Toronto Croatia and London City from Sunday May 16th for the same reason. Last night's game was again postponed because of a flooded field (even though this is field turf) and flooded dressing rooms (well they are at basement level of the concrete structure stretching the length of the field).
Milos Kocic earned the shutout for the White Eagles. He had some key saves to make but not among them was right after the Red card to SWE Marco Jankovic. Jankovic didn't wait until Arghittu got to the edge of the box and the resulting Wolves freekick down the middle from 23 yards had Scott MacLennan shot over the now ten players behind the ball and over the bar. Wolves problem the entire season is their inability to score. They have only 17 goals in 22 games.
Best scoring chances were at 33 minutes when Wolves Joe Conte rushed on the left and rolled a pass to Matthew Cain whose 12 yard shot on the left was pushed wide left by the flying goalie Kocic. At 35 minutes SWE Milos Vucinic rushed on the left and crossed from 20 yards away had the charging SWE Milos Scepanovic head a 7 yarder off the left post. At 51 minutes Wolves Joe Conte rushed on the left has his low cross through players in the box and Simon Murphy's low 12 yard shot from the right is saved by the diving goalie. At 76 minutes Stefan Vukovic got to the ball sent behind the defenders up the middle and his 10 yard shot was blocked by the goalie.
This was a key win for the White Eagles who had not won in their most recent eight games (that included six ties during that stretch). With the standings so close among the top five teams, they jump from fifth to a tie for second. Wolves remain at the foot of the table of the thirteen teams.
