MARKHAM - The Victoria Day Long Weekend traditionally involves Canadians enjoying the spectacle of fireworks. If the PFC campaign can be compared to the roman candles that lit the sky, the PFC season kicked off brightly with a hard fought win however, by their second match, the team's flare appeared to have fizzled out. PFC dropped this past Sunday's match with 4-1 loss to Celtic, moving their record to 1-1 for the season. The team seemed to lack any real cohesion as a unit from back end to front. PFC struggled to maintain control of the match and the team defense was clearly disjointed. It was especially evident in the first half during which the team surrendered Celtic's four goals. The lone goal in the second half was the result of a penalty kick taken confidently by Rob Pikula. The goal is the second in as many games for Pikula, who has been the only Pistola to register on the season so far. PFC's determination carried over from game one seemed to rekindle by the second half. While increasing their level of play and intensity on the pitch, the Pistolas also exerted some frustration. Although no cards were issued, the referee gave stern warnings to players for physical play and language. Historically, the PFC franchise has been one that comes together through adversity. If history has taught the PFC franchise anything, this past game and the emotions displayed can only be beneficial towards sparking the team's will to become a solid and cohesive unit. |
