Ottawa Fury FC and Indy Eleven settled for a 1-1 draw in a North American Soccer League match that was suspended for half an hour because of a powerful thunderstorm that struck with just seven minutes remaining in the second half.

That result, before an announced crowd of 6,139, moved Fury FC into a tie with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers and Tampa Bay Rowdies for eighth in the North American Soccer League’s fall-season standings with a 3-2-6 record and 11 points, but Ottawa remained 10th in the combined standings with its 5-5-11 mark for 20 points.

Indy is third in both the fall (6-2-3) and combined (10-8-3) standings, but it has already clinched one of the four playoff positions after finishing atop the standings in the spring season.

“Before the game against the spring-season champions, you would probably have thought that (draw) was a good result with our injury situation and the number of players we had available, but I think we did enough to win that game (Sunday), and we can take great confidence from that,” Fury FC head coach Paul Dalglish said.
