MARKHAM - PFC entered the Father's Day classic this past Sunday with a renewed outlook on the season. The team has been playing much better of late and their 3 wins (to 2 losses) on the season were all well earned. PFC squared off against the top seeded 76ers for the second time this season. The 76ers have but one loss this year which came in the season opener against PFC. Playing at Bur Oak Field, the temperatures by the 3:00pm start time reached scorching high levels. Although PFC scored two goals by the break, team defense was the talk at the end of the half by absolutely frustrating the 76ers for 45+ minutes. In addition, the scoreline reading 2-0 at the half could have easily been doubled with the chances left on the pitch by the PFC attack. Although PFC focused on maintaining their defensive posturing in the second half, and had several scoring opportunities, the defense began to show signs of cracking with the first 76ers goal. With a total of 12 players at the match, PFC had the benefit of one player as the sole substitution during the match. The PFC players struggled to keep up with the pace in the second half. During several stoppages of play, multiple PFC players would request to substitute off, however only one could be obliged each time. The 76ers managed to tie the game with a fortuitous shot from distance that both crept over the outstretched hands of the PFC keeper and under the crossbar. The match was truly battled out and it must be said that both teams were deserving of at least a point by the end. However, tragically, with mere minutes to go in the match, PFC surrendered a third goal and their point in a crushing 3-2 loss. PFC (3-3-0) look to move back above .500 this Sunday when they take on Celtic FC. at 5:00pm EST. |
