Match Thread: Island Games - August 15, 2020 - York 9 v Atletico Ottawa

I know some will complain about it, but that 2nd yellow was legit. 

[toontownman]

I think Y9 were always on a potential hiding to nothing against a debut underdog team. 

Also. That is as harsh as it comes. Terrible decision from the ref.

[Trois Reds]

I didn't see a red in that.  Did I miss something there?

Haha. Hands up!

I just think the ref has to keep calm and give a warning there. It's not like its repeat offense or he is through on goal.

He was already on a yellow - This challenge didn't seem like a yellow to me, but you have to be more careful when nursing a two goal lead and you've already been booked.

I think if you watch it back, you’ll see that it was an intentional foul, a definite yellow.

I didn't realize it was a second yellow. Thanks. A little harsh, I think, but yeah, he definitely needed to be careful.

Yep. Common sense should work both ways and it was a clumsy decision from the player.

Game on.

ferrari and wright the youngsters subs combine to get one back..AND NOW A PENALTY WOW

[toontownman]

Implosion.

[Ams1984]

Drama!!

[Big_M]

di chiara does it 2-2 with 30 to go

[Trois Reds]

Well, the last seven minutes completely changed this game.

[toontownman]

Guess we won't get to see Coupland today after all!

[Ams1984]

Murofushi makes a big difference in the mid. 

[SoccMan]

Max Ferrari from that soccer factory that is Humber College in Toronto and also from Aurora youth soccer club and a League 1 Ontario standout last year with Aurora . A shutout to Aurora FC who are rumoured to want to pull out of League 1 Ontario please reconsider by taking away a good pathway to bigger things for your players!

[Ams1984]

Great stop by the Ottawa keeper! Wow...

[Big_M]

the rare type of game you ask yourself which team got away with it

[Bbeto]

Today Max Ferrari is the best. Great player!

[Ingham]

I think Jimmy played it too safe here with his lineups. A very similar lineup to last years.

Vasconcelos disappointed me. Hope this isn't the best he can give otherwise we may have signed a dud. Ingham was also poor as they didn't have many shots at goal and conceded both. They weren't impossible saves either. 

The subs changed the game. Lowell Wright is a player and a half. Love his instant impact. Also liked what Max Ferrari had to show.

[toontownman]

What a great half for Canadian youngsters! Fun game in general. Normally I would say it is a shame the red spoiled the game but for the neutral it made it much better!

Kapor MOTM for me. Acuna a cut above. Excited to see him for the next 5 games at least.

Nice to see that Atletico won't be expansion fodder.

York 9 underwhelm again, until the red card.

[narduch]

York 9 plays again on Tuesday. Wonder if Brennan got a little too cute with the squad rotation due to that.

[toontownman]

Thought Kapor and John have a great start as a partnership. Martinez looks very solid. Acuna, I won't stop glowing about but Atletico have some very good pieces. I think 4 or so short of being contenders though but a great core of players if they managed to keep them and bring youngsters through for 2021.
