First game on the new turf at the Winnipeg Soccer Complex for Winnipeg Croatia. It was nice to see Marko M back in the lineup and Mario R in goal. Croatia started the game strong which resulted in Haris R scoring in the third minute of play for a 1:0 lead. Croatia playing good with a lot of chances but they just can't score. Finally Derrick K puts one in the net for a 2:0 lead. Last minute of the first half Colo Colo managed to get one back from a penalty. Culprits, to name the few, Marko M who loses the ball as a last man while dribbling and Eugene S who takes down Colo Colo striker. Half time 2:1 for Croatia.

During the scond half it started to drizzle a bit, making the new turf slippery. That didn't stop Branko D from scoring an amazing goal from far, far away. He had the ball on the right side of the field just pass the half court and noticed the goalie away from the goal line, took an amazing shot, lobbed the goalie and scored for 3:1. Too bad this one wasn't recorded. It reminded me of good old Davor Suker days. For the rest the game was played on one side, any balls that crossed the middle were nicely cleaned by Ivan M, Marko M and Peter playing in defense. Many scoring opportunities resulted in some amazing misses (Haris R and Vlado B come to mind). Derrick managed to score his 9th goal of the season for the final score of 4:1. Despite many missed chances good game for Croatia. With this win Croatia claims the 2nd spot in the standings.
