It was a hard, physical encounter early and Border Stars opened the scoring at the 38th minute on a strike by forward Woreth Sampson. A second goal came seven minutes later when Dominic Scicluna found the net at make it 2-0 and just on half-time North York midfielder Paulo Astorga scored to make it 2-1.

Final Score:……..Canadian Lions…….8………London City……..1……… Attendance was about 50 on this mild, calm evening. Lions kept being called offside in the first part of the game but eventually timed their runs better and were beating any kind of organized offside trap although the City defence collapsed as the game wore on. City coach Sean Gauss was ejected by referee Isaac Raymond for complaining from the bench. He came into the stands and continued to give orders. Easy to hear in the sparse crowd and with a deep voice like the singer in the speed metal band Sepultura. He definitely played a part in the brawl with his commands to “Finish the job”, “Take him out”, for his players to deliberately injure Marc Jankovic. He was marked for this treatment after his goal at 43 minutes and his reaction to scoring. He flapped his arms like a bird on his run to celebrate. Looking more like a 5 year old and very funny for a man about 6ft5in of more. I don’t think his action was to rub it in but genuine joy as I don’t remember this big defender scoring before. Also more serious was Gauss running onto the field from the stands to join the fight after being ejected. That’s the kind of action that gets the league to give out suspensions. I talked to City goalie Tommy Bianchi before the game about the professional indoor soccer leagues in North America. He had a gallows humour about tonight’s game. They had been beaten 4-0 by Serbian White Eagles on Friday night. I wouldn’t blame him for any goals and the score could have been twice as much without some point blank saves. Matthew Willis was goalie for the Lions and had some key early saves to prevent City getting an early goal or later to stop them getting back into the game. Evan Milward and Nordo Gooden are the fastest on the Lions for runs down the middle. Joe Rini and Milos Vuciluc can send in crosses from the wings and cornerkicks although the City defence had an easy time pushing those two small players over. This was the first win of the season for the Lions in this their twelfth game of the season in both league and Open Canada Cup play. They’ve also had four ties. What a way to end that slump! I was wondering whether the team would keep their morale--in that they hadn’t lost by more than two goals all year or would they start losing by let’s say an 8-1 score, lose hope and become like Durham Flames, Durham Storm, or Caribbean Selects where by the end of the season they had trouble fielding a full team as their players became more frustrated? There was no let up because the Lions scored three of their goals in the last ten minutes when they made a last mass substitution and two of those players scored goals. A hungry bench is good.
