Rocket Robin Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Result of the Friday May 12, 2006 exhibition game between Toronto Serbian White Eagles (CPSL) and Santa Clara of Portugal played at Lamport Stadium in Toronto at 7:30pm. 20 min...Santa Clara "Hermes" GOAL...Hermes socres on a scramble in the WE box after a cornerkick from left is headed to goalie Dusan Belic who drops ball and Hermes boots shot from 2 yards to defender who is one yard over the line. (edited from CPSL report; OK so not "Maurinho" with the last touch but there were a lot of players in the box). 38 min...Santa Clara "Ruben" GOAL...SC Quinu Berto freekick from left has an SC player head ball from 7 yards which goalie Belic palms off line as he's falling backwards but throws it directly at charging Ruben who heads ball to center of net just under bar from 3 yards. 46 min...White Eagles Gabriel Pop GOAL...Pop tips in header from 5 yards behind SC goalie Joao Botelho that WE Marko Janjicek had crossed from right. Final Score:.....Toronto Serbian White Eagles.....1.....Santa Clara (Portugal)......2..... Attendance started off at about 300 then was maybe 500 at halftime and 600 by the end of the game when the Braga game was scheduled. Tickets were $40 each for tonight's doubleheader and $60 for the weekend package that would have two more games on Sunday. Santa Clara looked like the better team but not by much. The White Eagles goal in the first minute of the second half made the game close right up to the final whistle. Santa Clara is a second division team in the Portuguese leagues. Their home is on the Azores Islands. Lamport Stadium was a mess with a burnt out scoreboard and that parking lot asphalt calibre astroturf. I don't think I was there last year but they've even let the American football lines start to fade away. (not Canadian because there's only 100 yards between football goallines, not 110). It had rained for much of the day (long over by gametime) and the field was still slippery. Balls passed wide often rolled out of bounds and blocked shots often bounced out of bounds.
