Final Score:........Brampton Stallions.........3.......St Catharines Roma Wolves........1........
Attendance was about 60 by halftime on this mild evening played on a soft field with mud in the goalmouths. It actually picked up to 80 by the end of the game but I saw it was some people waiting for the next game to start.
This game featured lots of end to end rushes but there weren’t a lot of chances in the first half. Wolves Danijil Milojevic rushed down the left at 20 minutes when a defender missed a ball and Milojevic rolled a centering pass and a sliding Wolves Neven Vujinovic kicked a 5 yard shot wide left. At 25 minutes Wolves Tony Mermigas heads 10 yarder wide left up middle when he received 40 yard cross from right. In first half injury time Wolves Milojevic passed to Mermigas who rolled ball past goalie near left end line but a defender cleared. In the second half at 51 minutes Stallions Aigbokie gets 7 yard poke at ball rolled just wide left of post. At 69 minutes, Wolves players hit the right goal post either once or twice in a row after a freekick. Three minutes later Wolves Carlo Arghittu’s 30 yard freekick from the right had Wolves John DiPietro boot a 7 yard shot from the left well over the net. At 74 minutes, Arghittu had a 10 yard shot deflected wide right by goalie.
It certainly looked like it would be the Wolves that would score the winning goal before the Stallions strike. The Stallions were often outnumbered in their defence and it was good on them that they’d make crucial headers or boot the ball away to prevent Wolves more shots on net. At 87 minutes, Stallions had a long run down the middle and O’Neil Sang finished the play with a flying 15 yard header that the fallen goalie gets back to palm over the top left corner of the net. This play and the third goal were the consequence of the Wolves pressing for the tying goal.
I didn’t realize how important this game was in the standings as I thought both these teams were safely into the playoffs. I sorted this out with Phil Ionadi, head coach of Oakville Blue Devils scouting for his team and Ruben Toro, an official of Italia Shooters. The Wolves hold the final playoff place—the 8th place wildcard spot. They can be caught by Toronto Supra Portuguese who have games in hand. Unknown to me until I got home, was that Supra were beating Caribbean Selects 3-0 one hour after this game started. The Wolves will have to wait now as Supra has one more game against Selects and one against Serbian White Eagles to close their schedule.
