Mustangs secure win against Warriors 4-2

Today Western played Waterloo Warriors and won 4-2 on the road in Waterloo.

In the first half Western was fortunate to have today’s blustery wind on their side. At 30 minutes Nick Agam sent Christian Douglas down the right side. Douglas tried to cross the ball in for the finish, but ended up with Western’s first goal.

Shortly thereafter Douglas embarked on a breakaway but the ball sailed just high in an impressive scoring attempt, but a near miss. At 42 minutes Vinny Caminiti received a yellow card, which was his third overall this season and consequently he will miss the next game.

Douglas turned things around for himself in today’s game and reclaimed his position on the starting line up. He demonstrated competitive prowess and was a predator today in the Waterloo half.

At 45 minutes Ivan Skoko made a big save after a deflection on a Warriors' corner kick. At halftime the score was 1-0 for Western.

The second half began with an uprising in the wind and Waterloo, now working with the wind, took full advantage. Four minutes into the second half Waterloo’s Victor Jiminez was able to score from almost 36 metres away from the net. Western keeper Skoko tried to make the save, however, the wind changed the ball’s direction. Western and Waterloo tied at 1-1.

At 12 minutes Dominic Bell received a yellow card. At 18 minutes Alex Lewis was sent by Jon Sargeant down the wide left. Lewis delivered a perfect cross and Pat Mroczek answered with a lethal header. Western led 2-1.

At 27 minutes Waterloo took a corner and Adam Craig was able to get his head on it for the Warriors’ second goal of the game. Shortly after, Alex Lewis received a yellow card.

At 38 minutes, Caminiti helped a lost ball to find its way back in Waterloo's net to score Western’s third goal of the game. At 39 minutes Oliver Richardson crossed a ball to Dominic Bell. Dominic savored the drama of the moment and headed the ball for Western’s fourth goal of the game, simultaneously giving the fans something to talk about on the long drive back to London.

Next week Western will play their final away game of the regular season at Brock at 3:15pm on October 20^th.
