LD Update: NASL Game Night; PDL Opener & News

FC Edmonton 3:4 Minnesota Stars – Both clubs went into the contest without a goal or a win. In the end, a Devin Del Do tally on the final play of the game gave Minnesota the road win and immediately vaulted the team into a three-way tie for second. For Edmonton, it was the duo of Shaun Saiko and Yashir Pinto that were key for the home side. Pinto found Saiko for the opener just five minutes in.

Minnesota leveled four minutes later on a Neil Hlavaty penalty and also went up a man as a result of the take down in the box. A loose ball on a free kick allowed Kyle Altman to give the visitors the advantage in the 16th.

The NASL heads into the third weekend of action looking for more offense. In 10 games thus far, there have only been three occurrences of a team scoring more than one goal in a game, and only two contests that have had at least two goals. Four have finished scoreless and another three were 1-0 decisions. Only four games have had a winner, and the Puerto Rico Islanders account for two of them.

USL Pro has been almost the exact opposite with only one match of nine finishing in a draw. There have been six shutouts, including one scoreless stalemate. Six of the eight match-winners scored at least two goals in the contest. The third weekend will finally see its last remaining season opener as Harrisburg City takes to the field.
