Ottawa Fury FC News Release
OTTAWA, ON - Fury FC extended their winning streak to three games last weekend, defeating the Richmond Kickers 5-3 at TD Place thanks to another solid performance from Sito Seoane. The American-born Spaniard scored twice extending his scoring run to three matches and lifting his team to a crucial three points in the highest scoring match in club history.
Prior to the game against Richmond, Sito had scored the match-winner last Tuesday against Toronto FC in the first leg of the Canadian Championship Semifinals. He came into Saturday's fixture red hot and he kept his streak alive by netting both first half Ottawa goals.
Sito is Ottawa's leading scorer with five tallies - three in USL competition and two in the Canadian Championship.
The 28-year-old will aim to extend his scoring streak Wednesday night in Toronto at BMO Field in what will be the biggest match of Fury FC's history. Ottawa meets Toronto FC in the second leg of the Canadian Championship Semifinals, holding a 2-1 aggregate lead and looking to become the first non-MLS team to reach the Finals.
Fury FC's next home match is June 10 at 7 p.m. versus the Harrisburg City Islanders. Tickets are available at OttawaFuryFC.com, by calling 613.232.6767 X1 or in person at The Box Office at TD Place.
