Final Score:......Serbian White Eagles...........3........St Catharines Roma Wolves..........0...........
Attendance was about 600 on this hot and humid evening.
The last time these two teams met, the White Eagles won 8-0 in St Catharines with Gabriel Pop scoring five goals. This time although Pop was a starter, he was subbed at only 13 minutes for Mihajlo Bacanin. Pop has been injured within the last few weeks and missed the Toronto Supra Portuguese league game and the Harbourview FC (Jamaica) exhibition game.
Wolves had enough chances to score and one of their best was in first half injury time when Carlo Arghittu got to a pass in the SWE box and his 8 yard shot was blocked by goalie Dusan Belic. Arghittu got the ball back and flicked it up from the left as he’d already passed the net and SWE Mark Jankovic headed the ball over his own net.
At 58 minutes, Wolves Danijil Milojevic’s 25 yard shot through a crowd of players in box had the flying goalie push the ball wide left of goal. At 60 minutes Arghittu took a cornerkick from the left that had Wolves player head the ball through box and Wolves Nemanja Djukanovic leap and kick the ball over the net from 2 yards while all alone on the left post. Dusan Belic preserved his shutout in injury time when Djukanovic’s 30 yard shot that caught him off balance but he recovered in time to make the save near the right post.
Sasa Viciknez took most of the freekicks and cornerkicks for the White Eagles. He was the major part in the final two goals of the night but this was just a small portion of the chances he was given. He earned a Yellow card at 48 minutes for spiking the ball after he slipped just outside the Wolves box and he fell on the ball and the referee whistled him for handball. Mihajlo Bacanin earned applause at 65 minutes when he charged up the middle to beat a defender and the goalie to the ball and his 20 yard shot just missed the right post with the goalie 15 yards off his line. Dragan Radovic and Alex Braletic also had some good chances to put this game away sooner.
This was the seventeenth game of the season for the Wolves but only the eleventh for the White Eagles. I’d expect the number one reason the White Eagles will not stay undefeated for the rest of the season (although after tonight they are 11-0-0 in league play) is because they’ll have so many games in August and September that they’ll tire out or more players will be injured.
