Both sides came out on the offensive, with the home side of Darby taking an early lead just thirteen minutes in. Aurora goalkeeper Ryan Collins was caught off guard by a long ball, sent in from just over the line of Aurora's half, sailing over his head to open the scoring. Just four minutes later, Morey Doner made a familiar connection with Maximillian Ferrari across the box, who buried it into the top right corner to tie the game. The Sir William Mulock grad tied for the team lead in goals this season with his third, matching that of veteran forward Dylan Rennie. With both sides within a few points in the league standings, the first half turned into a brawl: five yellow cards were handed out before the 45-minute mark, though the rosters on the field remained at eleven each before the final whistle. With the draw, the single point earned has vaulted Aurora up three spots in the men's table, passing Toronto ProStars FC, Toronto Skillz FC, and Oakville's OSU Force in the process. A slow start to the season, including a four-game losing streak through May and June, has the Aurora squad well back of the undefeated Sigma FC in the ladder. Though with just a single loss in the last month of play, head coach Derek O'Keefe said he is now seeing his team ?make the right plays?. Next up for the Aurora men is a home game at Stewart Burnett Park on July 29, hosting the 3-3-2 North Mississauga SC. The Aurora women, in the midst of a three-week break in the regular season schedule, return to action on their home pitch July 25 against the 3-2-3 DeRo United FC.

Aurora FC Ride Hot Streak to Win Over North Mississauga
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sat Sep 25 17:23:05 2021 / +0000 GMT Aurora FC ride hot streak to win over North Mississauga By Jake Courtepatte Halfway through the League1 Ontario season, the Aurora FC men's side is hitting its stride. The club picked up its second win of the 2018 season on Sunday evening, a 3 ? 2 victory over North Mississauga SC, as part of a 2-1-1 streak dating back to mid-June. Riding an abrasive offense that sent seven shots on the Mississauga goal, Maximillian Ferrari led the way for the Aurora side with a brace, his first two-goal performance in suiting up for ten games this season. North Miss earned the first real chance of the game in the twelfth minute, forcing Aurora keeper Ryan Collins to make a diving stop. Aurora returned less than a minute later with an offensive zone interception by Parmpreet Johal, sending Ferrari in alone on the keeper and putting it away on the far side. Collins was finally beaten by the Panthers on their fourth shot of the game in the 61st minute, fooled by a rebound he stood little chance on, though Aurora stormed back with their second of the game thanks to a substitution for Matthew McGrouther. Just two minutes after coming into the game, McGrouther finished off a well-place header to give Aurora the lead in the 77th minute. With momentum on their side, Ferrari potted his second of the game just seconds later to take an insurmountable late lead.

United FC Women Cap Off Inaugural Season
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Fri Sep 24 7:52:39 2021 / +0000 GMT United FC women cap off inaugural season By Jake Courtepatte A handful of injuries and limited substitution options left the Aurora United women shorthanded in a loss to Darby FC on Friday. It was Aurora's Ellie Hayes that found the back of the net first, just six minutes in when she finished nicely off of a corner kick. Injuries to two Aurora players followed almost immediately, causing delay, before Darby scored just seconds into resuming play. Playing the second half down a player, Aurora conceded two more goals for a 3 ? 1 loss. ?The first half we came out well balanced on both sides,? said Aurora head coach Arman Mohammadi. ?Unfortunately, the second half, with us playing with ten, the game shifted against us. It was not in our favour for the first portion of the second half.? ?Eventually, I think we found our way and were compact and managed to make it as competitive as possible,? said Mohammadi. ?On the whole, our girls competed well.? Despite the final loss, a rocky start to Aurora's first ever League 1 squad transitioned into a strong finish by August. Aurora won three matches in a row prior to the Darby game, vaulting up league standings to sixth in the nine-team table with a 5-8-3 final record. Sarah Stratigakis cemented her position as one of the top midfielders in the league, notching nine goals over a ten-game season. The international star led her squad in goals, followed closely by Meghan Reynolds with seven.

Aurora United FC Sides Blanked at Sheppard?S Bush
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Wed Sep 29 8:32:42 2021 / +0000 GMT Aurora United FC sides blanked at Sheppard?s Bush By Jake Courtepatte Neither side of the semi-pro Aurora United Football Club could find the back of the net in a full day of action Sunday at Sheppard's Bush. The Aurora women fell victim to the Vaughan Azzurri 2 ? 0, while the men followed up with a similar 2? 0 loss to the Sanjaxx Lions. It was a tougher matchup for the women's squad, who were up against the recently-crowned League 1 Cup champs, a season-long knockout tournament that culminated last week. "It was a little bit of a test for us against the Cup-winning team," said Aurora head coach Arman Mohammadi. "And I think we were able to show that we are able to play and compete against them. They had that motivation to go with them and I can't say if there was anything else in it. I feel it was a pretty balanced 90 minutes.? Aurora kept Vaughan off the board until the 39th minute of play, when Ashley Nater sailed in a long strike past Aurora keeper Marissa Zucchetto. They doubled their lead after 65 minutes and held the game scoreless the rest of the way. "First half, it was a little bit of a struggle for us to try and get our little momentum into the game and Vaughan did a good job of pressing in our half,? said Mohammadi. ?But second half I think we dealt with it a little bit.

Aurora FC Shut out in Toronto
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Thu Sep 30 0:04:18 2021 / +0000 GMT Aurora FC shut out in Toronto By Jake Courtepatte A pair of undisciplined plays were the undoing for the Aurora FC men in their 2 ? 0 loss to the Sanjaxx Lions on Sunday. Penalty kicks at the 35th and 40th minute marks of the match at Monarch Stadium in Toronto each found twine behind goalkeeper Alexander Jakma, while Aurora failed to score on a penalty kick of their own. Aurora head coach Derek O'Keeffe was frustrated with the result, calling it a ?poor game of football all around.? ?I thought both teams were poor,? he said. ?I thought we started quite well, probably should have scored an early goal but didn't. I don't fault the effort of our players, I thought they tried. I don't think Sanjaxx created anything other than the two penalties and we had one of our own but couldn't score. ?If you don't take your chances, you don't score or win - simple as that.? Aurora, which has fallen to 1-11-1 in the East division standings this season, will have a chance to gain some ground when they visit ProStars FC at Avondale Stadium this Saturday: one of two teams in League 1 Ontario without a win this year. The women's side of Aurora FC found success in week 14 of the League 1 season, squeaking out a 4 ? 3 win over a lowly Darby FC squad. Though Darby opened the scoring at the 20-minute mark, Aurora notched three goals in the course of five minutes late in the first half to take a 3 ? 1 lead into the break.

Late Strike Ties Aurora United with North Toronto
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Fri Oct 1 23:07:18 2021 / +0000 GMT Late strike ties Aurora United with North Toronto By Jake Courtepatte Aurora United FC managed their first point of the League 1 Ontario season on Saturday in a 1 ? 1 draw with the North Toronto Nitros. Blustery weather conditions failed to stop fans and players from converging on St. Maximilian Kolbe's field for an evening matchup. "The weather affected both teams," said Aurora executive director Jimmy Brennan. "It was windy, miserable, a cold night. We said it to them at the start of the game today that it would be a scrap and they were not going to be able to do fantastic football and build it out of the back. It just wasn't the weather to do that game." The Nitros were able to take the lead in the 37th minute after grinding in midfield for much of the game, while Aurora's Matthew Caguana notched his first of the season off a corner kick in the 79th minute. "This is the type of game where you need to get it forward, get your second balls, and you knew it was going to be a scrap,? said Brennan. ?And it was ? it was a scrappy game with a lot of yellow cards and tackles and that's the way it goes when you're playing in weather like this. When it's a nice sunny day hopefully you can play some beautiful soccer that you like to play, but today was a scrap from the beginning to the end." Aurora next visits with Durham United FA (0-1-1) at the Pickering Soccer Complex on Friday.
