Turn-Key Controls stopped Topsport FC’s winning streak at 10 games with a 3-2 Vernon Men’s Indoor Soccer League win Wednesday night at the VantageOne Soccer Facility.
Both teams showed some beautiful passing play in the early minutes. On a Topsport counter attack, Fabrice Fanfani fed Lendrit Ademi a through ball. Ademi then beat two players and fired an absolute thunderbolt into the top right corner.
Turn-Key then hit back with a long ball over the top which found big man Conan Ackert’s glancing header and ended up in the back of the net.
At 1-1, the evenly-matched teams looked eager to find the go-ahead-goal. Turn-Key found a lead after a good passage of play which led to a Grant Oben shot which was deflected into the netting.
Topsport started the second half with some attacking play. Honorable mention to James Hesketh in the midfield who had an amazing game before stepping off the field injured.
A foul by Menno Burnet, who was a brick wall at the back of the Topsport defence, led to a free kick for Turn-Key. The free kick was taken quickly by Evan Moore and rolled past the keeper making it 3-1. The league leaders struck back with a driven cross by David Weir that found Ademi at the far post. Ademi now has 18 goals in eight games.
With only 10 minutes left, Topsport were playing one man down after a series of injuries. The last few minutes were thrilling with both teams firing shot after shot.
