Last minute goal costs Ouzo precious points against Lakeshore United

SOCCER CITY, ETOBICOKE - Match day number 2 saw your beloved Ouzo boys take on the supposedly improved Lakeshore United. This match had all the makings of a great one as both teams were unable to get a win in their first match of the season.

Ouzo opened the scoring in the first half with some nice team work completed by a fine finish from in form striker Gus "1st Class" Polymeros (2G). Unfortunately Ouzo's lead did not last long as the quick counter attacking style of Lakeshore United led to an equalizer. Lakeshore United would tally 2 more before the half ended, leaving Ouzo with some catching up to do in the second half.

In typical Ouzo fashion, the boys proved they were equal to the challenge in the second half. A combination of heart and skill led to some wonderfully crafted opportunities, 2 of which found their way into the Lakeshore United net with great finishes by Stu "iron foot" Fletcher (1G, 1A) and a second for Mr. "1st Class" Polymeros. Unfortunately, the Ouzo come back was dealt a deadly blow by another Lakeshore United open net finish, with less than 30 seconds left on the clock. 4-3 was the final result.

Ouzo's post match disappointment could be felt in the locker room, however, a few hours upstairs in Wingers Lounge was exactly what the Doctor ordered.

The boys will be looking for no less than full points this upcoming Saturday and Sunday, in a rare, double "Super Classico" against the newly named Olimpia (formerly Arnold & Bart).
