The Ottawa Fury opened their Fall season on Sunday afternoon with a 2-0 victory over the Jacksonville Armada. It was the first time in 2015 that the Fury scored more than one goal in a game, and the victory vaulted the club into a tie for the final playoff spot in the combined standings. The clean sheet also meant Fury FC keeper Romuald Peiser extended his shutout streak to 616 minutes. To put that in context, that’s like one full Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees game.
The Fury came out looking a little sluggish as the Armada were all over them in the early going of the match.
