Match Thread: September 18, 2023 - HFX Wanderers v Atletico Ottawa

Game is at 7pm AT (6pm ET) on One Soccer and Fubo

Looks like they're giving out 500 free scarfs to the first through the gates.  0% chance I'll be one of those people.  A good opportunity for any Ottawa fans who are looking for something to pin their dartboard after we win 4-0 tonight (I'm kidding, maybe).

Kuddos to @narduch who never fails to make a game thread. Even for a match postponed to a Monday night. 👏👏👏

Reminds me of when Montreal gave out free toques but didn't instruct the people on duty not to give them out to the TFC away fans. A few were literally burnt by TFC fans in the away section.

@Olympique_de_Marseille What U21 players!? 🤪

[Cheeta]

Oi...

[grasshopper1917]

I don't think Fillion can redeem himself now in my books. Way too many sketchy goals and blunders. I dont think any worse then that one.

[gwsmith63]

That was ugly. Yeesh. 

[Lurker]

Listless for too long.  We need to dig deep this second half… this feels a lot like the last two years right now.

[Big_M]

salter scores vs his former team

[Lurker]

We’ve got nothing going on the wings.  Ottawa easily clogging the middle.  I’m not sure why Zach is on the back left… Ferraro makes more sense but I guess it’s Assi’s speed that was the concern.

I’m hoping for some immediate subs but I don’t think they’re coming.

[Lurker]

I take it all back.

[Cheeta]

HA!  Well done.

[Big_M]

translator perruzza puts hfx up on a super ball by callegari...what a turnaround

[Cheeta]

Allow me to repeat myself.

HA!  Well done.   Sleepy on the defending there but still, point stands.

[narduch]

Nice turnaround by HFX here.

Lead 2-1 now.

Peruzza with the goal.

[grasshopper1917]

Looks like a totally different club that took he field in the second half.

[Big_M]

wow they pull out the leagues top baller

[Big_M]

salter again against his former team!!! 2-2...he says you let me go heres the answer

[Big_M]

and hfx answers right away giraldo makes it 3-2!!!

[jonovision]

Wild game between these two, and a good chance we'll be back here with the same teams in a few weeks for the 4-5 matchup.

[Big_M]

apparently watson got a red

[Cheeta]

Well that was fun.

[grasshopper1917]

Well how's that for a wild finish. Huge 3 points for Wanderers.
