Sarnia Produce vs Esso
July 16, 2009
Sarnia Produce
returned to action following a much deserved
lay-off, to face rivals Esso in league
play at Lambton College Field. Both teams
came out slow and cautious with more
offensive chances going to Esso. Defense
seemed to play a vital role for early
action. In the 25th minute Esso was first
to connect on a beautiful pass and well
placed bullet which found the top right
corner of the Produce net. Eager for more,
Esso continued pressing and forced play in
the Produce end and finally were rewarded
with a goal in the 40th min. Esso led 2 - 0
at the half.
The second half
saw a more determined Produce team looking
to equalize. The Azzurri pressed from the
onset adding a forward in hopes of finding
scoring opportunities. Finally, in the 70th
min of action Theo Tsaprailis blasted a shot
in the top corner of the net, to bring
Produce within one goal. Continued pressing
by Sarnia Produce forwards resulted in
little chances on goal. A stubborn Esso
defence was the factor in preserving the
win.
