As fans at TD Place made their way to their seats, Ottawa jumped on the scoreboard just with a goal from Kevin Oliveira just 42 seconds in. Steevan Dos Santos began the run after winning the ball in the midfield that was flicked toward Adonijah Reid. Reid backheeled it back to Dos Santos and found Oliveira on the wing and running toward the goal. With Steel FC defenders rushing back to their own net, Oliveira lifted a shot that kissed off the far post and into the net.
Despite the very early deficit, Steel FC looked to respond with chances from midfielders James Chambers and Adam Najem. The duo earned chances minutes apart as Najem flicked a pass to Chambers who fired a left-footed curler that was saved by Ottawa goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau. Two minutes later, Chambers repaid the favor to Najem but once again Ottawa made the stop.
With the first half winding down, both teams created a dangerous chance but were unable to notch goals. Aidan Apodaca found space on a counter attack in the 42nd minute and chipped the keeper only to see his effort cleared at the goal line.
Steel FC pushed for an equalizer in the second half, pushing attack after attack over the final 45 minutes but were unable to snap Ottawa’s shutout streak which extended to five matches. Philadelphia Union Academy forward Jeremy Rafanello created a pair of dangerous chances in his team and league debut with his first coming in the 70th minute. Building off a defensive stand at the edge of the box, Najem fired a cross toward the 18-year-old. With a defender leaning in, the forward took a touch and saw his right-footed blast tipped over the bar. In stoppage time, Union defender Matt Real first a cross into the box but the Ottawa’s Crépeau beat the 18-year-old to it.

Head coach Brendan Burke
Burke is in his third season as head coach of Bethlehem Steel FC, coaching the squad to an 28-36-24 regular season record during the club’s first two seasons in the modern era. He was formally introduced as the club’s first head coach on Oct. 29, 2015 and recently signed an extension to remain with Steel FC for the foreseeable future.
During his three seasons with Bethlehem Steel FC, he has navigated 86 different starting XI combinations in 88 career matches while guiding four players to first team contracts with Derrick Jones in 2016, the duo of Cory Burke and Matt Real after the 2017 season and Olivier Mbaizo earlier this year. Overall, Burke had coached 74 players including 29 players with ties to the first team and 17 from the Philadelphia Union Academy the past three seasons.
Prior to joining Steel FC, Burke served as an assistant coach for the Philadelphia Union from 2011 through 2014. He was heavily involved in all levels of the U.S. Soccer pyramid, including serving as head coach of the Union’s PDL affiliate Reading United from 2008-13 where he had a record of 71-18-19. During his time with Reading, Burke coached 49 players that signed professional contracts including Ray Gaddis, C.J. Sapong, John McCarthy and Matt Hedges. Burke served as associate head coach at Northeastern University in 2015.
Assistant coach Stephen Hogan
Hogan, who formerly served as the head coach of the Philadelphia Union’s PDL affiliate, Reading United, is in his third season with Steel FC. Hogan guided the PDL squad to a 22-5-1 record in his two seasons with Reading United. The club went 10-3-1 and won the Mid-Atlantic Division title along with an appearance in the Eastern Conference finals. Hogan followed up with an even stronger 12-2-0 record in 2017, tying for the most wins in the 72-team league. During the season that saw the club reach the postseason for the ninth time in 10 seasons, Hogan’s squad conceded an Eastern Conference-low 10 goals. As a Reading player under Brendan Burke, he made 52 appearances, second most in club history, while playing from 2007-10. He helped lead the team to the 2009 PDL Regular Season Title and the PDL National Semifinals in 2008 and 2010. A native of Dublin, Ireland, Hogan spent two seasons as head coach at the College of Saint Rose’s men’s soccer program. BETHLEHEM STEEL FC VS OTTAWA FURY FC 2018 BETHLEHEM STEEL FC ROSTER
