Final Score:......Serbian White Eagles........1............North York Astros...........0......

Attendance was about 180 on this hot evening with the temperature comfortable by the time the game ended in the dark. No Ultras were there tonight—in fact the crowd was more parents with kids than I'd seen for any of their games this season. The scoreboard wasn't working so a PA announcer made periodic announcements of the time and score for late arrivals.

Sasa Viciknez was brought into the game at the start of the second half. His goal was the only freekick he took during the game. The first half had the White Eagles with the run of play but their timing was off. Kirie Dimitrov, Milos Scepanovic, and Alex Braletic would have good runs down the wing but then cross over the box or behind the net to end a promising play. Astros goalie Enea Perego had a few punches of cornerkicks and crosses to clear the box. Astros offence was limited to kicks upfield for forward Nordo Gooden and the defensive line could usually stop him setting something up.

Milos Djurkovic earned the shutout for the White Eagles. In the second half he was tested more often. The best was at 55 minutes when Marcos Rodriguez beat an offside trap at 35 yards on the right and holds up at 12 yards as a defender overruns him and he shoots a 10 yarder that Djurkovic caught under the bar.

White Eagles recover from two losses last weekend on a road trip to Montreal and Ottawa. They move up to 5th place with a 6-3-4 record although they've only scored 18 goals in 13 games. White Eagles have a game in Brampton on Sunday to complete another busy weekend but unlike last week at least have one day's rest in between.

Astros have 0 wins and 5 ties in 13 games. They had tied their last two games before tonight and have only allowed two goals in their last three games although they've only scored once.
