Result of the MLS Reserves League game of Saturday
April 6th, 2013 between Toronto FC Reserves and
FC Dallas Reserves played at BMO Field in Toronto
at 7:00pm (although the game started at 6:45pm).
46 min (1st half injury time)...TFCR Mark Anthony Kaye GOAL
...TFCR Ryan Richter rolls ball from 30 yards on right through
crowd of players and Kaye slides to get away 12 yard roller before
sliding defender can get to it up middle and beyond diving
goalie Chris Seitz to the left post.
65 min...FCDR RED card...London Woodbury is sent off directly
by referee Justin Tasev after a tackle on TFCR #35 at DFCR 40
yards on rush up right side.
84 min...TFCR Ashton Bennett GOAL...TFCR Andrew Wiedeman passes
from 22 yards on right across box and Bennett finds clear space
around defender and bends inswinging 18 yarder into right corner
of net behind flying goalie.
Final Score:.....Toronto FC Reserves.....2.....FC Dallas
Reserves.....0......
Attendance started off at about 30 and finished with about
half that as the weather continued to get colder and windier
to about 4 Celsius. This game was played within 45 minutes
of the main MLS game ending. (Attendance at that game was
declining since before Dallas scored their second goal and
those people missed TFC's two goal comeback for a tie).
Formation as I saw it for the Reserves game was:
TFCR
...............24 Stefan Frei (captain)
33 Ryan Richter...4 Doneil Henry...2 Logan Emory...5 Ashtone Morgan
35 ?????????...8 Kyle Bekker...17 Justin Braun...9 Emery Welshman
......28 Taylor Morgan...32 Andrew Wiedeman
At 19 minutes Mark Anthony Kaye replaced Emery Welshman (who had
not played in the main game). Welshman must have been injured
as Kaye came in about two minutes after Welshman had to leave.
Kaye is from the TFC Senior Academy team (thanks to one of the
few fans for supplying me with that info).
The start of the second half had TFCR Logan Emory hurt in the
ankle kicking a ball at the same time as an FCDR player and
was upset that it took so long to stop play. Two minutes later
TFCR Kaye and FCDR #37 were both hurt in each other's sliding
tackles as they crashed together. All players ended up
continueing the game.
Both teams defenders coverered well; clearing dangers when the ball
came into the box. Stefan Frei had only one great save to make
at 80 minutes when FCDR Bradlee Baladez blasted a low 12 yard shot
from the left that he dived and pushed the ball over the bar.
Ashton Bennett came in at 55 minutes replacing Kaye. While he did
score at 84 minutes, he fired shots from about the same distance
both before and after the goal well off target.
