Tyler Pasher

Canadians played key roles in the NASL reunion match between North Carolina FC and the Indy Eleven this past weekend.

Tyler Pasher scored what would stand up as the winning goal as Indy came into North Carolina and got a 1-0 result. NCFC’s Kyle Bekker had a chance to draw the game level in stoppage time, but he couldn’t convert his penalty-kick attempt. Pasher scored, Bekker didn’t, and that was the difference in a game that saw new Indy coach Martin Rennie go back to his old stomping grounds in Cary, N.C. Before going on to coach the Whitecaps, Rennie coached the then-Carolina RailHawks in the NASL.

USL action brought most of the highlights for Canadian players this past weekend, as Skylar Thomas scored for the Charleston Battery, and we’re all asking what the heck is wrong with the Ottawa Fury. The Fury has lost its first two games, and has a shocking -8 goal difference. And, the team is playing its Canada-eligible players a lot — an average of 443 minutes through these first two blowouts of the season.

Here are the rankings after the sixth week of MLS play/fourth week of USL action:
