Ouzo F.C

SOCCER CITY – ETOBICOKE:  Ouzo FC were back in the finals for the first time since 2004.  The team was coming off an excellent season, finishing with 14 points and tied for first place. 

After a dominating performance in the Semis against Raging Bulls, Ouzo were feeling confident going in to the Big Game. The Final started off intense with both teams battling at both ends of the field.  There was little space out there and both teams wanted it bad.  West Way jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first half on a rebound gola that came off the boards.  Ouzo tied it up a few minutes later after Behn Wurthman played a nice ball into Wojciech, who put away his team leading 6^th goal in 5 games. 

The game stayed that way well into the second half, with both teams having some excellent chances.  Andrew Spencer playted his best game of the season and kept Ouzo in the hunt for the title with some key saves down the stretch.  The last 10 minutes Ouzo seemed to run out of steam and as a result conceded 2 goals that deflated the boys.  Being 3-1 down, Ouzo pushed forward looking to crack West Way’s defense, but came up short and conceded a late goal to lose 4-1. 

A disappointing finish, but the game was much closer than the scoreline showed.   The team closed the bar down again after feasting on 10+ lbs of wings and plenty of pitchers. 

“Win or lose, we still have our booze”
