35 min...MFA YELLOW card...*Dabire earns it for crash with B Avolonto at edge of B box. (the L1O website has Dabire earning

1812 breakout but the whistle was blown by referee Scott Bowman. The 1812 bench questioned why the half would end
on a breakaway for them but it was because Bowman had just awarded a goal after the referee's assistant caught
his attention by waving his flag. He was in position to see that the goalie had caught the ball behind the line.

Final Score:.....Masters FA........3.........1812 FC Barrie.......2.......

Attendance was about 60 on this cold night.  Huge contrast between this afternoon and this parka 
wearing night.  In previous years the entire season was over by the Thanksgiving weekend but we still 
have two weeks to go to finish the regular season then a two week playoff.

1812's roster listed a full 18 players but I counted either three or four subs on the bench so pickings 
were slim.  Adel Rahman, a usual starter subbed in at 63 minutes.  He was saying to another player 
he should have started then told me he was injured so that's why the late appearance.  
Brother Navid Rahman is serving a suspension. 

That Master's third goal was of key importance in the game because it gave them a two goal lead 
and some leeway to not get too conservative.  Quillan Roberts prevented any further goals.  

I solved two mysteries by choosing this game over the two other GTA area games.  

1. The incident that got Master's head coach and AC Hubert Groves suspended for the rest of the season 
(actually Groves just four games) happened during a game against Vaughan Azzurri.  Hmm the LlO site 
boxscores for that September 4th game lists 'no game details available' more than a month later 
but the game is up on their YouTube channel...should be fun to watch if I ever get the time.

2. The previous meeting (only two games ago because of rescheduling) of 1812 and Masters ended 
in a 4-4 tie with goalie Quillan Roberts only playing 75 minutes and then Masters scoring two 
late goals.  Turns out Roberts was Red carded and a field player went in net (1812 still only has 
signed one goalie).  The league software has no way of showing a goalie can ever get a Yellow 
or Red card.  It doesn't look like Roberts served a suspension as the one game before tonight he played 
the full 90.  

A pregame fistbump with Masters Akeem Priestly, the hero of the 2019 L1O Cup final.  He said this 
was only his second game of the year.  After getting home I looked up and found he'd only 
played 10 minutes before tonight's 16, and that was in the 1812 game when he scored one of those 
late goals.  

I counted six Yellow cards in this game, evenly distributed.  

1812's Youssef Zaghloul left the game with a dislocated finger in the second half.  "How did it
happen?" he was asked.  "It got caught in a uniform" he said.  Oh oh. he must have been holding
someone.  No Yellow.  He was treated by the Master's physio as 1812 didn't bring one.  Improvized
equipment but it looked like his hand could be a ping pong paddle until he received medical treatment.

This was a huge result for Masters with them improving their record to 6 wins, 1 loss, and 3 ties 
for 21 points and clinch second place.  This opened up the gap between second and third to an 
insurmountable 7 points over Unionville Milliken and 1812 FC to 8 points.  Top two teams 
in the East make the playoffs and cross over and play the top two in the West.  Vaughan Azzurri 
had 25 points but may increase that tonight away to last place North Toronto Nitros which had 
not been updated at the time of my posting. 

1812 FC's record falls to 4 wins, 6 losses, 1 tie for 13 points so with one game left in the 
schedule they are out.
