Toronto FC II were defeated 3-0 by Ottawa Fury FC on Wednesday evening at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa, losing the first of three encounters between the provincial rivals scheduled for the 2018 USL season.
A nasty clash of heads between TFC II keeper Drew Shepherd, making his first start, and the Fury’s Kevin Oliviera in the 6th minute led to the opening goal from the ensuing penalty kick when play resumed ten minutes later, converted by Steevan dos Santos.
Nana Attakora added the second shortly after the restart and dos Santos rounded out the scoring late with a predatory strike.
