A last minute goal by London City forward Andrew Loague snatched a crucial victory from St. Catharines Wolves and a possible playoff berth as the two teams tied 3-3 at Club Roma in St. Catharines Wednesday night. St. Catharines needed a win, then a tie with North York Astros on Sunday to clinch the last playoff spot, but the Garden City team is now faced with a must-win game – their last game on the last day of the regular season against the Astros.
London’s Brian Abidakum struck at the 11th minute mark to open the scoring and just two minutes later Loague scored a second London goal – his 13th of the season – for a 2-0 lead at the 13th minute mark.
Wolves’ Tony Marmigas cut the lead to 2-1 at 26 minutes and Calvin Rosario added two more for the St. Catharines’ team at 64 and 86 minutes for a 3-2 lead with just minutes remaining in the game.
Just when the home side looked to be picking up their all-important victory, Loague struck again for London City at 89 minutes, his 14th of the campaign for a 3-3 tie.
