Ottawa Fury FC defeated USL side Saint Louis FC 2-1 Tuesday evening to open its week-long camp at IMG Academy in Florida.

After Saint Louis tied the game at 1-1 in the 70th minute, Ryan Williams fired a missile-shot directly into the top corner three minutes later.



“I think we played with a lot of intensity,” Fury FC coach Paul Dalglish said.



“It was our first real test so it was important to win that game to breathe confidence going into the season, especially against the team that we are going to play in our first game. I’m really pleased with our performance, I thought we were outstanding for an hour, then conceded a goal, but found a way to close the game out.”



In the second 30-minute period, Fury FC had a great opportunity to get on the board when Tucker Hume was brought down in the 18-yard box and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Sito Seoane’s shot missed inches wide. But minutes later, Seoane took Gerardo Bruna’s rebound and gave Ottawa a 1-0 lead in the 51st minute.

After a few missed opportunities by Ottawa, Saint Louis got the equalizer at the 70th minute.



Fury FC will face OKC Energy Thursday and FC Cincinnati Saturday.
