Final Score:......Brampton City United.........4.............Montreal Impact Academy.............0.......

Attendance was about 120 on this hot sunny afternoon. United usually plays Sunday afternoons but this was scheduled for today for Montreal. MIA had played last night against London City then had to travel I'd estimate three hours to get here. I suppose this uses the minimum hotel bill from the league accommodations sponsor Days Inn Motels. Capital City from Ottawa is doing the same thing this weekend and the GTA teams do it when they visit Ottawa and Montreal on the same weekend.

Kodzo Awitor earned the shutout for BCU. Regular goalie Roy Blanche was Red carded last Sunday in their game against Mississauga Eagles. Awitor had to be sharp and made a few important saves. He cut down on some by coming out of his box to clear through balls much like Roy Blanche does.

I asked referee Justin Tasev after the game how Nascimento was ejected. I thought it was a dive and then the temper tantrum after that got him a second card but Tasev said it was a direct Red. I expect the referee can do that by the rule book it's just I haven't seen it done before.

Big surprise that BCU actually played better after they went a man down. MIA was forced to press near the end and that left them open in the back line for rush after rush. MIA players and officials were complaining of the lack of offside calls.

Best non-scoring chances were at 13 minutes when MIA Kevin Luarca on the left rolled a pass forward to MIA Zakarid Messoudi but the goalie dived forward to knock the ball away and Messoudi flipped over him. Luarca then got away a 12 yard shot from the left that was smothered by the goalie. At 22 minutes BCU Kevin Omokhua rushed on the left to receive a quick freekick forward and took a 12 yard sharp angle shot that had the goalie tip and crash backwards into the right goalpost with the ball hitting the crossbar. David (brother of Denny) Velastagui got to the ball in a crowd of players and shot 8 yarder down the middle that the goalie caught. At 41 minutes MIA Luarca pushed the ball forward up middle to MIA Messoudi behind the last defender and his low 18 yard shot had the diving goalie get a hand to and push wide right of the post. At 78 minutes Francesco Augustin rushed on the right and took a low 15 yard shot that had the goalie slide forward to make a great foot save to keep the ball out. 81 minutes had BCU Richard West rush across the box and took a 12 yard shot that was blocked by the goalie. That same minute MIA Maxine Tissot took a 15 yard shot from the left that rolled just wide right of the post. 87 minutes found MIA Dominique Morin chip a 30 yarder of a partial clearance that the goalie caught just in front of MIA Michelot Hyacinthe who was ready for a 6 yard tap-in.

I hadn't been to Victoria Park for a month and the scoreboard wasn't working in the first half. I thought it was the overgrowth of the plant life. It worked in the second half but part of the display was blocked. Team officials better tell the City to trim back those branches or by next month the entire board will be obscured!

Montreal was the first place team entering the game but may have been tied in the standings if Capital City won in Windsor. Brampton keeps pace with Mississauga and Serbian White Eagles who won games on Wednesday and Friday (both beat St Catharines Wolves).
