With 15 minutes to go in the 1st half, Ukraina goalkeeper Evan went down with an injury so Andriy Popowych was called upon to take over the goal duties. Moments after the change, an unmarked Saigon player headed in the ball from a corner kick to make it 2-1 at halftime. The second half saw chances present themselves for each team. In injury time of the 2nd half, Scotty got on the end of a flick-on from brother Luke off a corner kick to score a dramatic tying goal to secure Ukraina its first point of the young season.

Location: Ottawa Business Park #1
Result: 2 - 1 Loss
Game Summary: A slow start to the game saw Ukraina concede an early goal, and a second goal soon after. Despite the early deficit Ukraina were still able to put some pressure on the opposition. In the second half the boys really stepped up their play and pressed hard to get back into the game. A goal came from Andrew Popowych and Ukraina were within striking distance of some points and pushed until the final whistle. Coming very close to the equalizer, it wasn’t to be. A very great effort from the squad in this game. Evan Einarsson played well in goal.

Result: 6 - 1 Loss
Game Summary:The goal scoring today started early as Saigon scored on a great strike from 20 yards out. Down 2-0 at half Ukraina had their chances and were looking to press the game in the second half. Somehow, though, it didn’t quite work out this way. Ukraina conceded a few more goals but were able to get 1 back on a well taken penalty kick by Andriy Popowych. Roman Dzioba and Mike Podgorski shared the goal tending duties.

Man of the Match

Roman Dzioba
After being away from the club for some time, came back and showed his heart, not being afraid to play in goal and working his tail off out on the field.

Ottawa Ukraina NCISL Open Div. 1 vs. Wii Unfit
Sunday, July 3rd, 2011 @ 6:30pm
Location: Ottawa Business Park #1
Result: 1 - 2 Loss
Game Summary: Things started off slowly for Ukraina as they seemed a little surprised by the effort they were showing. Early in the game, it was the opposition that scored the first goal of the game. From then on out, the boys stepped up their game and shortly afterwards were rewarded when Scott Makischuk found th back of the net to tie the game. The game continued with some chacnes at both ends, but no team taking control of the game. The game’s deciding goal came down to a referee’s decision when a ball was deflected onto the hand, which was tight to the body, of an Ukraina player on the edge of the 18 yard box. It was called a penalty kick and after Morgan Kenny stopped the original shot, the rebound was hit in. Morgan Kenny played well in goal.

Man of the Match

Morgan Kenny
Unfortunate not to get a win on this game playing a great game in goal, stopping a penalty and keeping it close.

 

League Game
Ottawa Ukraina NCISL Open Div. 1 vs. Kablamo FC
Sunday, July 10th, 2011 @ 6:30pm
Location: Bannockburn Park
Result: 3 - 5 Loss
Game Summary: As of late, Ukraina has been getting themselves into trouble by allowing early goals and having to try to battle back. Today that trend continued, as the team went down 1-0. Never giving up, the game was soon tied 1-1 on a goal by Scott Makischuk. Ukraina were unable to continue the momentum swing and the game got a little too far out of reach. Scott Makischuk added his second of the game and Andriy Azarov scored off a great volley from outside the 18 yard box.

Man of the Match

Nelson Pardo
Played a great game on the defensive end talking a lot, tackling hard and leaving everything on the pitch.

Result: 2 - 1 Win
Game Summary: The boys came out with a sense of purpose looking for their first win of the season vs their rivals. In the 15th minute, all the pressure finally paid off with Arsen scoring a beautiful left footed volley from 25 yards out. Half-time ended and 1-0 and the boys looked to be cruising to that final scoreline, when the opposition scored a flukey goal. With time about to expire, Patty sent a long goal kick, to Ukraina newcomer's Nick Makischuk who headed it to brother Luke Makischuk who sent a through ball to brother Scott Makischuk who scored the game winner in extra-time for a 2-1 win. Patty Tobin played excellent in his debut in net for Ukraina.

Sunday, July 24th, 2011 @ 6:30pm
Location: Earl of March HS
Result: 6 - 6 Tie
Game Summary: Ukraina was involved in a wild barn-burner of a game today with goals aplenty. Every time Ukraina would score, their opponents would march down the field to equalize. This back and forth match went right down to the wire when Myk scored on a breakaway with a mere 3 minutes left in the match. It looked like that goal would stand but the opponents marched down the field and were able to tie the game one last time with seconds remaining. The exciting match finished in a 6-6 draw.

Man of the Match

Andrew Popowych
Continuing his great season outside of the posts, scored 2 goals on this day.

Friday, August 12th, 2011 @ 6:30pm
Location: Carling
Result: 7 - 1 Win
Game Summary:Ukraina were replaying a game that was cancelled due to weather and this game started off much like the last one with Ukraina scoring goals. Morgan Kenny got the scoring going on a great header crossed by Nate Lafosse and then Andriy Aza went for a run and scored off a great hit on his individual effort. From there it was more of the same. The opposition did manage to score 1 goal but it was not a factor as Ukraina would go on to score 7 on the day. Morgan added 2 more, Andriy with 1 more, and Arsen Gritsenko and Nate Lafosse both scored 1. Evan Einarsson played well in goal.

Man of the Match

Morgan Kenny
It seemed he couldn’t do much wrong today as he scored 3 goals and was constantly involved.
