With about two minutes from time, Sinisa Ubiparipovic sent a quick pass to Nicki Paterson and the Scot slammed to ball into the Indy Eleven net.

The goal, and the win, must have been a welcome result for the Fury who have had trouble scoring of late.

The win moves the team into a tie with Atlanta for fifth place for now in the NASL spring season standings on the strength of a two-win, two ties and three loss record.

Paterson’s goal provided some drama for what is the largest crowd to watch a soccer game so far this season at TD Place. An estimated 5,245 were in attendance.

“It just feels good to get the win,” said head coach Marc Dos Santos after the game.

Ottawa controlled the ball in the early part of the match but the two teams traded chances during the first half.
