Final Score:.....Brampton City United.........3.............Serbian White Eagles........3..........

Attendance was about 200 on this sunny, hot and humid afternoon. This game was broadcast by Rogers Community Channel for Brampton residents.

Best non-scoring include at 7 minutes when SWE Filip Velasevic took a low 30 yard blast up the middle through a crowd of players that had the diving goalie on the right post make the save and then SWE Alex Braletic take a 10 yard rebound from the right that the sitting goalie was able to save. At 28 minutes BCU Andy Garcia intercepted a bad pass and took a quick 22 yard shot chipped over the goalie and hit the bar. At 38 minutes BCU Kevin Omokhua beat the goalie who fumbled the ball on the edge of the box on the left and his 20 yard kick hit the bar and went over. At 64 minutes BCU Kevin McIntosh took a quick freekick from 30 yards on left that hit the bar and bounced away. 94 minutes had the last chance as Omokhua beat an offside trap and his low 18 yard shot from the left was saved by the sprawling goalie.

This was a rough game with lots of tripping, clutching and grabbing. Neither teams nor fans were pleased with the officiating nor the offside calls. I counted nine cards given out—four yellows each plus the SWE Red card. SWE had to play a man down for 75 minutes on this hot day. Both teams took water breaks whenever a trainer had to be called to look at an injured player.

SWE Sasa Viciknez was subbed in at 56 minutes and took a close-in freekick almost immediately that was caught by the goalie. He scored on the Penalty kick chance. He was the hero in Friday night's game too as a second half sub when he scored a freekick goal in the only score in the game against North York Astros.

The tie keeps BCU one point ahead of SWE for fifth place although SWE has a game in hand.

There was no TFC Academy game at Centennial Stadium at 8:00pm against London City. A few weeks ago that was rescheduled for a later date and will actually turn into a home game for London.
