Final Score:….Sigma FC…….2……Windsor Stars……2…..

Attendance was about 120 on this cool night.

This game was one of momentum. It looked like Sigma would run away with this early with almost

all the action taking place in the Stars side of the field in the 15 minutes. Play settled down

and Windsor scored a key goal in first half injury time to keep it close. I felt a huge turning

point was a non-goal…at 49 minutes when Sigma Eji Mrabure rolled a 22 yard shot into the right

corner of the net but the referee had already whistled the play down and gave Stars Carlos Soares

a Yellow card for pulling on Mrabure. The play resulted in a freekick at 20 yards which had

Manny Morgado loft the kick just over the bar. The later awarding of the Penalty kick was almost

a sympathy call. The taker of that Alex Halis had been dribbling the whole game beating three men

at a time but being checked by the fourth guy so looked like a sure bet to score.

Best other non-scoring chances were at 17 minutes when Stars Carlos Soares crossed from near the

right cornerflag and the ball was tipped over the net from the foot of Noah Pio at 6 yards.

63 minutes had Stars Ciprian Codea take a 25 yard midair shot that the flying goalie palmed over

the bar. 84 minutes had Stars Stephen Ademolu blast a low 28 yarder that the diving goalie blocked

on the left post but left a big rebound and from the left the charging Pio had an open net but

shot a 6 yarder wide left of the net.

Elijah Larin (born in 1996) came in as a sub at 82 minutes and put a brief dazzling dribbling

display on his first touch but later drew a yellow card in his brief time on. He’s the younger

brother of Sigma alumni Cyle Larin who played for this team last year and was the first pick

of the 2015 MLS draft. Cyle scored another goal for Orlando City FC earlier this weekend.

It was the first tie of the season for both teams. Sigma’s record is now 2 wins, 1 tie, 0 loss. Windsor’s record is 1 win, 1 tie, 2 losses.
