Final Score:.....Italia Shooters.........4.............North York Astros............1............

Attendance was about 35 on this cool evening. I wouldn’t have felt bad in a parka as the temperature dropped by the second half.

With the game well in hand, Shooters made their maximum substitutions even switching goalie’s at 75 minutes from starter Camillo Benzi although he was injured at 71 minutes but played on. Actually I didn’t notice Jason DeThomasis on the bench so they made only six subs.

Astros manager seemed to have a legitimate gripe against the referee when he complained to the fourth official about non-calls. Misiara Beleshi took an elbow in the face at 63 minutes when he was chasing Desi Humphrey (playing as a defender tonight) who was running back into the IS box to pick up a ball. No card, not even a freekick.

Non-scoring highlights included at 4 minutes Astros Misiara Beleshi getting a low shot from 15 yards on the right that the sprawling goalie save on the right post. At 7 minutes, IS Sean Myers rushes up middle passes left to Anthony Adur whose 8 yard chip tap is an easy save the Astros goalie. Astros Francisco Dos Santos was injured just outside the IS box. He was treated off field with a leg injury and finally has Janarthan Sadacharaligam at 32 minutes. At 35 minutes IS Josue Jaramillo’s 18 yard shot hits outside of right post. 2 minutes later Astros Jahmo Welch snaked a hard 35 yard shot up the middle that was caught by the goalie. At 50 minutes Astros Dawid Antonczyk crosses from 20 yards from wide left had Astros Daniel Vocino head ball but back to edge of box from 10 yards and it was cleared. At 53 minutes, Astros Sadacharaligam 25 yard shot bounced over IS goalie but wide right. At 62 minutes the Astros goalie gets to a through ball and an IS player tumbles over him. At 77 minutes Astros Arun Tosing was given the ball up the middle between two defenders and his 20 yard shot has the sub goalie get his arm to block ball at 15 yards. Five minutes later the Astros scored their only goal on a similar play. Shooters better watch that in the playoffs.

Astros goalie Arthur Zaslavski was critical of his defence during the game. Some of his goal kicks and pass forwards were ignored by his defenders with them still looking up field. Fortunately there was another Astros player to recover from the miscue.
