Tyler Pasher looked like the best defender on the line with
him being to only one I noticed who did not make a mistake.
Luis Boa Morte had a strong game from a strong man who couldn't
be knocked off the ball. He is a trialist from Portugal (and
an international for them until 2009) who last played for
Orlando Pirates in South Africa. He played in the midfield.
Danny Koevermans looked the poorest player on TFCR. He had
played from 61 minutes in the main game and scored the
winning goal at 87 minutes and probably had to run the gauntlet
of post game interviews. This must have been a let down for
him. I'd have rather seen one of the younger players get a
longer look.

Brian Rowe was the goaltender for PUR. He was the backup goaltender
for Toronto FC earlier this year from the MLS pool after the injury
to Stefan Frei until the club signed Quinlan Roberts from their
Academy roster. Frei could be seen on the sidelines at the MLS
game with crutches and still with his leg in a cast and a playoff
beard.

Best non-scoring chances were at 9 minutes the the TFCR goalie
made a save off PUR Jack McInerney and then two blocks
on PUR Antoine Hoppenot while down on the ground and
then was able to grabb the ball. 45 minutes had PUR Josue
Martinez crossed from the left over the box and a PUR player
crossed back and another player on the left post too bar over
to knock it in. 55 minutes had PUR McInerney take a cornerkick
from the left that drops in the box and PUR Christian Ibeagha
shot over the net from 10 yards.

Referee Justin Tasev kept the cards in his pocket rather than
take over the game except for one to each team. TFCR Terry
Dunfield earned one at 30 minutes for kicking the ball away
after the whistle for a foul by TFCR Oscar Cordon. PUR Amobi
Okugo earned one at 88 minutes for a tackle near the PUR right
cornerflag.

Without a huge crowd and the hawk taken off the roof of the west end,
the seagulls flew around. They were scared away by pinwheeled
fireworks (the kind that scream into the sky) and the hawk being
brought over to the east stand.

I've finally got some pictures of that game on my site and also figured out who those Union subs were.
