Ouzo F.C

SOCCER CITY – ETOBICOKE:  Ouzo and the Serbian White Eagles squared off in a home and home series at Soccer City over the last 2 weeks.  New to the division, the White Eagles started the season off 2-0 before facing Ouzo FC in their 3^rd game.

In the first game, Ouzo were experiencing some injury problems and missing some key players.  The game was a close affair and Ouzo was up 4-3 with less than 5 minutes left in the contest.  Fitness seemed to play a key role in the final minutes as the young guns scores 3 straight goals to win 6-4. Emotions were high as there was an unidentified man on the White Eagles bench that was verbally abusing the referee.  When the referee asked him to leave, he denied the request stating he would not be going anywhere.  With no control over the situation, the referee continued the game.  As the game ended, the Grumped fat man from the White Eagles began insult several Ouzo players.  That was the wrong thing to do as there would be another game the following week.

The second game of the series welcomed back Ouzo veteran’s PK, “Final Flores” and Anderson.  However, their big offensive weapons were still out, so management was forced to bring in a few players off the Sunday team.  Ouzo’s co-founder “Polymeros” and “Number 9” were called into action and provided a much needed spark.

In what was categorized as a “must win” heading into the bye week, Ouzo came out strong and was up 2-0 at half.  A fantastic defensive effort in the second half, along with another steady performance by Mike Pesic in goal, Ouzo not only won the game, but came away with a convincing 3-0 win. 

Ouzo has a much needed bye week coming up, which should be more than enough time to get a few of their stars back and healthy.
