$3.775 million this year and allows him to earn an additional $225,000 in
bonuses based on games finished.OTTAWA -- Call it the best-case scenario for the
Ottawa Fury FC. The young franchise played to a 0-0 draw Wednesday night against
FC Edmonton at Keith Harris Stadium in the first leg of the Amway Canadian
Championship. Considering this was just the third game in franchise history for
the Fury, head coach Marc Dos Santos was pleased with the draw. "This is four
times 45 minutes and now were at halftime of the game," said Dos Santos of the
series. "If you asked me what would be the best score after leg one I would tell
you I want to win 5-0. But the reality is, if you do tie, at least tie 0-0 at
home." The two teams, who compete in the North American Soccer League, will meet
next Wednesday in Edmonton for the final game of the home-and-home series. The
winner, the team that scores the greater aggregate of goals over the two
matches, will secure the fourth semi-final place and join the three Canadian MLS
clubs, Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps in the next round.
Should the two teams end in a draw next week the Fury would earn the tiebreaker
as visiting goals are more valuable. However, if next weeks game is scoreless
the two would play extra time and then go to penalty kicks to determine a
winner. "We control our own destiny now," said Edmontons Ritchie Jones. "Were
pretty good at home and teams usually dont like to play us at home." The Fury
gave Edmonton all it could handle and while he gave full marks to Ottawa for its
performance, Edmonton head coach Colin Miller believes his team should win next
week. "With the greatest respect to Ottawa we are the favourites," said Miller.
"Were a five year franchise now and theyre a new franchise. Were at home and
were very difficult to beat at home. I think if we play the way were playing now
I think well be a match for anyone in the NESL. Its in our hands." Both teams
had good chances in the early going of the second half, but both goalkeepers
seemed up to the challenge. Ottawa keeper Devala Gorrick made the save of the
night in injury time on Sadi Jalali as Edmonton broke through for a wide-open
chance. "Thats one of those shots I train for everyday," said Gorrick. "Luckily
I stayed focused because it was cold and I didnt have to do throughout the
second half, but I saw the balls and then things slowed down for me and my
training kicked in and I was able to stay big and get a body behind it." Minutes
earlier, Edmonton failed to take advantage of a direct kick as Richie Ryan made
a great defensive play to block the kick. "It was important for us to keep a
clean sheet," said Ryan. "It was more for confidence as were confident that we
caan go and score next week in Edmonton.

Gorrick made an easy save to keep the game scoreless. Mason Trafford had the
crowd on its feet as he made an acrobatic kick from in close, but John Smits
stretched out for the save. The game got physical at times and Dos Santos said
he expects much the same next week in Edmonton. "Its going to be a war," said
the Ottawa coach. "I dont think well be welcome there." While Miller felt the
game was physical, he by no means thought it was ugly. He says his team prides
itself on playing a hard-nosed style. "I didnt think it was over the top
physical," said Miller. "I thought it was two teams committed to winning the
game. Its the heat of the moment and theres an awful lot to play for the clubs."
The game remained scoreless after the first half. The Fury, playing without four
of its starters due to injury, had the better chances early in the half, but
failed to beat Smits. Ottawas Philippe Davies nearly scored off a header at the
seventh minute, but Smits was able to get a hand on it and tip it wide. Davies
once again had a great chance at the 26th-minute mark, but watched in
disappointment as his shot went just over the crossbar. "The first 25 minutes we
came in very well and created opportunities, but for the last 15 minutes of the
first half Edmonton was better," Dos Santos said. "In the second half we had a
lot of problems in the beginning, especially in the first 25 minutes. After that
we began to grow and it became an open game. We created situations, they created
situations and our goalkeeper made a fantastic save at the end and it would have
been unfair if Edmonton would have scored." Cool temperatures and a brisk wind
seemed to have little effect on the play or the crowd of 2,411 who were
boisterous in their support of the home team. Edmonton grew stronger as the game
went on and had a number of good chances late in the opening half, but Gorrick
was solid for the Fury. "This was by far the best game weve played," said
Gorrick. "We showed a lot of composure, especially in the first half, and
overall I think were getting better." The Amway, which features the countrys
five professional clubs, is moving into its seventh edition, with the winner
representing Canada in the CONCACAF Champions League. Notes: The Fury were
without Tom Heinemann (high ankle sprain, 4-6 weeks), Nicki Paterson (knee,
day-to-day), Sinisa Ubiparipovic (knee, day-to-day), Omar Jarun (eye,
day-to-day). Edmonton lost D Lance Laing midway through the second half and isnt
expected to play next week at this point.
