(this was a retake of the penalty goal he had just taken--a low blast to the right side under the diving goalie that the referee ordered taken again for player movement on the edge of the box). Final Score:...Serbian White Eagles.......1...... St Catharines Roma Wolves.............3....... Attendance was about 80 on this very cold night with a full moon in the south. I am glad I was wearing my parka (like all fans) but unexpected as this is the 24th of May already! Wolves started the game with just Michael Pavela up front for much of the first half but gradually brought more players forward. They were called offside many times in the game but on some very important rushes their timing was right and away they'd be alone on a through ball pass. SWE Daniel Chamale had earned his first Yellow card at 58 minutes for knocking over Wolves captain Scott MacLennan knocking him out of the game--he had to be carried off the field as he couldn't put weight on his leg. He was replaced by eventual third goal scorer Brett Larocque. Best non-scoring chances were at 27 minutes when SWE Djordjije Strunjas rushed on the left crossed into the box but behind charging SWE forwards. An SWE player had a shot blocked then SWE Sasa Vukoje had his 15 yard shot saved. Next minute had Wolves Angelo Beatrice roll a cross from 25 yards on the far left that SWE defenders and Wolves Michael Pavela whiff on kicking at the ball as it rolls even with the 8 yard line and out the right side of the box. 31 minutes had SWE Vukoje shoot a 15 yarder shot that the goalie made the save on the left post and Vukoje blasted the 10 yard rebound into the outside left webbing of the net. 43 minutes had SWE Ivan Stankovic take a short corner kick from the right to SWE Strunjas who ran towards goal and his low 12 yard shot had a sliding defender block at 5 yards. The next minute had SWE Stankovic take a 30 yard freekick down the middle that was blocked on the edge of the box and he got to the rebound and cross the ball and had the goalie punch the ball away at 8 yards on the left side of the box in a crowd of players. The second half had Wolves Ephraim Cirillo cross from the right end line after eluding a defender and the ball was popped and only partially cleared and Wolves Jad Nasser headed the ball from 8 yards that the goalie swatted wide of the net. SWE has their record fall to 1-1-0 in two home games. This was the Wolves first game of the season. They have already equalled last year's win total! From two Wolves officials I talked to they say they've gone with a much younger team this year. Many of this year's team came from their 2012 Reserves team. Carlo Arghittu is back as the head coach. I watched him as a player on this team but also going back to the 1999 Toronto Lynx. Claudio Perri is no longer the goalie with the team. His older brother Dino was the goalie on Hamilton Steelers of the Canadian Soccer League (the cross Canada-wide league) in the late 1980s when I first started coming out to soccer games (yeah before the Internet).

Final Score:.....Toronto Croatia......4...... London City........1........... Attendance was about 100 on this mild night with the sun still out for the first half. City replaced their goalie at 86 minutes and he let in the last goal. Toronto Croatia introduced two new players to their lineup tonight. Both forward Kresimir Prgomet (from NK Istra 1961 club in Croatia) and Bujamic Mladen (couldn't find which Croatian team he was with) scored in their debuts. Croatia were missing early chances and Maletic had just missed scoring at 43 minutes and City ran it up field and took the early lead drawing groans from the fans. Croatia never gave up and kept trying and found their timing in the last half hour to pull away. Croatia's second goal fitted the definition of a delayed call. The goalie was caught out and Prgomet rolled the ball into the empty net. Many thought it would be a hand ball outside the box. The referee first consulted with the assistant in that end and gave the goalie a Yellow card. Then after another conference with the same assistant a goal, not an ejection and not a Penalty call was awarded. That brought big cheers from the fans who'd been upset the three minutes or so it took to sort this play out. Best non-scoring chances were at 3 minutes when the City goalie dived forward at 8 yards to catch the ball before TC Kresimir Prgomet could get to it. 27 minutes had City Aldin Kukic recover a TC pass with TC players and fans calling for a hand ball at 30 yards and from their chipped the goalie at 8 yards but his shot hit the bar and stayed out. 30 minutes had TC Ainsley Deer run on the left and center a pass for charging TC Pregomet to one-touch a 10 yard blast just wide left of the post. 36 minutes had City Nenad Begovic take a 30 yard freekick blast that the leaping goalie palmed over the net. The next minute had TC Prgomet charge on the right and his 25 yard blast had the goalie palm the ball up and a defender cleared from the box. 43 minutes had TC Bujamic Mladen rush up the left and roll a ball ahead to TC Deer who threaded a through ball pass to TC Tihomir Maletic at 15 yards and he rolled an 8 yard shot wide left of the post. City than took the ball upfield and scored. 2nd Half had at 54 minutes TC Hayden Fitzwilliams rush down the left and roll a cross that TC Maletic whiffed on a kick at 7 yards. 63 minutes had TC Maletic roll a through ball pass from 35 yards on right to TC Prgomet in alone and instead of shooting from 20 yards he passed forward to left but the charging TC Fitzwilliams was just a few steps behind it and the ball rolled out for a City goalkick. A pushing incident broke out at 66 minutes between about six players from each team near the center circle and the referee broke it up and gave out no cards maybe foreshadowing what would happen later. 67 minutes had City Kukic hit the right post on a quick shot when TC Fitzwilliams lost the ball in the TC box. 73 minutes had TC Maletic rush up the middle but ended when his 7 yard shot was tipped wide right by a sliding defender who'd retreated to catch him. Croatia improves their record to 2-0-0 (not first place but they've played two less games than Kingston FC (who they beat in their first game). London's record falls to 2 ties and 1 loss in 3 games.
