OTTAWA, ON - It's been a long and exhausting road trip for Fury FC in the past few weeks. The team traveled over 8,600km in 13 days, picking up two draws and a win, extending the club's unbeaten streak to six games.
After scoring a come-from-behind 3-2 win in Minnesota, Ottawa will return home to face the Loons one more time Saturday at TD Place, as Fury FC will be looking to keep the run alive in their last-ever meeting against them, ahead of the Loons' move to MLS in 2017.
Dalglish was pleased with his team's performances of late, but he wants his players to produce an even better one Saturday in front of the home fans.
"We were good, very good against Minnesota but the thought this week is that we are not content with being good, we always want to be better," said Dalglish. "We want to improve every week and we need to make sure that Minnesota sees and even better Ottawa Fury FC on Saturday."
Saturday in Minnesota Giuseppe Gentile, Ryan Williams and Danny Mwanga all scored their first goal in Fury FC colours, while Jamar Dixon recorded his first two assists since joining the club. Mwanga's game-winning goal also reached an important milestone for the club, being the 100th goal in Fury FC's history.
The Congolese-American striker was delighted to hear the news but mostly because his goal helped the team extend its unbeaten streak and grab all three points.
"Wow, it makes it even better," said Mwanga after learning of the record. "Coming off the bench and scoring the game-winning goal is always a special moment as a forward and it gives you confidence. Now, also knowing it's a special goal for the club makes it even sweeter and it gives me extra motivation to do well in the next game and help the team again."
It is also Purolator Tackle Hunger Weekend at TD Place - fans are asked to bring a non-perishable food donation in support of the Ottawa Food Bank.
Following Saturday's match, Fury FC will close out the month of September with a mid-week fixture against Miami FC next Wednesday, before coming back to TD Place Sunday October 2nd to host Puerto Rico FC .
