OTTAWA – It took less than 24 minutes for newcomer Azake Luboyera to make his presence felt for Ottawa Fury FC as the youngster’s header proved to be the decisive strike in a 2-0 win over Toronto FC II at TD Place on Saturday. Luboyera’s goal came off a first half set piece and was followed by a moment of brilliance from Sito Seoane in the 75th minute that all but assured Fury FC its sixth win of the season (6-6-6, 24pts) and first over its Canadian rivals. TFCII, which had shutout Ottawa in the first two meetings between the sides, fell in the final installment of the Battle of Ontario this season to move to 3-12-5 overall (14pts).
Scoring:
24’ – OTT – Azake Luboyera (Gerardo Bruna)
