Final Score:............Vaughan Sun Devils..............2.................Montreal Dynamites.........1..........
Attendance was about 60 on this hot humid overcast afternoon played on a wet field. The sun finally came out with ten minutes to go in the game surprizing me who was expecting rain. Rogers community channel was carrying this game live which probably means it will be repeated sometime in the week.
Sun Devils win their second game in 14 hours having beaten London City in a home game last night 1-0. The Kouzmanis brothers looked like they've known each other all their lives (yeah ok) as they set up each other for some good shots as the two forwards for the team.
Sun Devils were really hanging on at the end. Extra injury time was deserved although five minutes may have been pushing it. Second half sub Richie Lissone once again subbed for his "Freestylers" partner Willy Giumerra. With SD Marco Casalinuovo injured during injury time and being treated on the field, Richie started doing some tricks with the ball in front of the Dynamites bench including pushups with the ball on his back but the desperate Dynamites weren't going to fall for rushing at him because the trainer was still on the field helping the injured player. The Sun Devils were the ones mostly complaining about the fragile nature of the Dynamites players. "Don't worry, he'll be up in a minute, he's Spanish" was a mean comment but when Santo Soriano Ramirez sprung up to race ahead 40 yards waiting for the freekick the player just made the magician's gesture for "Amazing".
