Fort Lauderdale Strikers News Release
Miami, FL- Miami FC came out strong and focused to capture another three points in the USL First Division against Toronto Lynx. In the eight minute, Romario beautifully placed the ball in the back of the net off an assist by Sean Fraser to give Miami FC a 1-0 lead early in the game. This is Romario's sixth goal for Miami FC and he continues to be the leading scorer in the USL.
Soon after in the 12th minute Mario Rodriguez received a pass from Walsh and beat the defender for a 1 on 1 with the Lynx goalkeeper, and calmly earned Miami FC another point to make it 2-0.
However, the Lynx did not let up and answered back with two goals before the end of the first half to tie up the game 2-2.
Late in the first half, Miami FC had a close call when Romario scored a goal, but a few seconds later it was called offside, a similar incident that happened in the second half as well. From then on, Miami tried by any means possible to score the third goal, but Toronto, led by their goalkeeper Richard Goddard wouldn't allow it.
Miami FC faces the USL champion Seattle Sounders, next Sunday, June 15, at 5:00 PM at Tropical Park Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on FOX Soccer Channel.
