SOCCER CITY - ETOBICOKE:  Ouzo FC currently sit in 2nd place after back-to-back loses to Mirage.  After losing 2-1 in last weeks "Game of the week", Ouzo fall 3-2 in another nail biter.

Goals by Rob Rusnov and Johnny Krilis weren't enough to stop a surging Mirage, who are now the only undefeated team in Sunday's 1st division.  Labeled as the most important game of the year, Ouzo jumped out to a 1-0 lead after a pretty passing play between Anderson, Alex and Rusnov.  It was Rusnov's team leading 10th goal of the session.  After reviewing the Ouzo archives, it has been confirmed that was a record for "fasting goal scored".  The official time was 28 seconds into the game.  "They didn't even touch the ball!" said midfielder Matt Geary after the game.  It was a great start indeed, but Mirage kept the pressure on, which once again proved to be too much. Krilis notched his 1st goal of the season late in the 2nd half from a nice ball from Geary.  The boys pushed hard for the final minutes, but just couldn't beat Mirage's keeper.

Ouzo face long time rivals - Raging Bulls next week, which should be another dog fight.  Ouzo gave the Bulls their worst defeat of the year "7-1" earlier in the year.  It is certain they will come out looking for revenge.  Game time is set for 6:55pm at Soccer City.
