TRANSCRIPT
MATCH NOTES:
Fury FC Injury/Suspension Report: Philippe Davies: 6-8 weeks – Arm (March 28)
Points of Interest: The captain of the Canadian Men’s National team, Julian De
Guzman, is expected to make his home debut Saturday. Fury FC Fanatics program
now includes 24 partner clubs from Ottawa/Gatineau and the surrounding region.
NASL Team of the Week: After making several clutch saves last Saturday in Atlanta
to secure the club’s first point of the season, goalkeeper Romuald Peiser was named
to the NASL Team of the Week.
Scouting Minnesota United: They finished the 2014 season as the NASL Regular
Season Champions, but were unable to repeat that success in the postseason. An
already strong team, made themselves a lot stronger in the off-season with the
additions of Ibson, Kalif Alhassan and Jonny Steele. The Loons played to a 0-0 draw in
their season opener last Saturday in Tampa Bay.
Head-to-Head: Perhaps Ottawa’s biggest rival from their inaugural season,
Minnesota took three 1-goal victories over Fury FC with both wins in Ottawa coming
in stoppage time. These matches were entertaining, feisty and full of goals.
Coach Quote: “We don’t need to motivate our players for a game like this one.
Everyone is aware of the determination and commitment that is required if we want
to succeed in front of our fans. Minnesota are the 2014 Regular Season champions, so
we know that we will have to be at our best on Saturday afternoon. The support of
our fans will be crucial and definitely a difference maker.” – Marc Dos Santos.
Up Next: The first leg of the Amway Canadian Championship’s preliminary round
kicks off Wednesday night at 7:30pm (April 22) at TD Place as Fury FC tackle FC
Edmonton. Ottawa returns to NASL action April 25 hosting the Fort Lauderdale
Strikers at 3:00pm. Tickets available at OttawaFuryFC.com

MATCH PREVIEW:
It has been almost six months since Fury FC played at TD Place and when they kick-off their 2015 home calendar they will do
so the same way they did the 2014 campaign – against Minnesota United FC.
The two sides played three spirited and entertaining games in 2014 that saw last year’s regular season champs take victory on
all three occasions; twice finding the match winner in stoppage time. Perhaps a rivalry in the making between two of the
League’s more northern clubs that is sure to add another entertaining chapter on Saturday.
“We don’t need to motivate our players for a game like this one,” said Marc Dos Santos ahead of his club’s home opener.
“Everyone is aware of the determination and commitment that is required if we want to succeed in front of our fans.
Minnesota are the 2014 Regular Season champions, so we know that we will have to be at our best on Saturday afternoon. The
support of our fans will be crucial and definitely a difference maker.”
For the first time this season, Marc Dos Santos will have the unenviable task of picking his Starting XI with, at long last, a
healthy squad. The only blemish in his squad is midfielder Phil Davies who is expected to miss the better part of the Spring
Season with a broken arm. Captain Richie Ryan, midfielder Sinisa Ubiparipovic and forward Paulo Junior are all fit to play and
veteran midfielder and Canadian International Julian De Guzman will return from suspension and is expected to make his
home debut.
Nicki Paterson made the most of his season debut scoring the opening goal in Atlanta and goalkeeper Romuald Peiser made a
handful of timely saves to help Fury FC collect their first point of the 2015 season with a 1-1 draw against the Silverbacks. Dos
Santos and his players now look to build on the point and with the squad return to full health, the confidence and excitements
for Saturday’s home opener was evident at training all week.
Minnesota finished the 2014 season as the NASL Regular Season Champions, but were unable to repeat that success in the
postseason. After a bye-week in Week 1 of NASL action, the Loons opened their 2015 season last Saturday in Tampa Bay and
were held to a scoreless draw.
Boasting one of the top back lines in the NASL, Minnesota United focused a lot of their off-season attention on bolstering their
depth in midfield. With US International Miguel Ibarra serving as their midfield engine last season, the Loons added
experienced Brazilian midfielder Ibson, Kalif Alhassan from the Portland Timers and Northern Ireland International Jonny
Steele. With an already impressive attack led by the NASL’s 2014 Golden Boot winner Christian Ramirez and 2012 Golden Boot
winner Pablo Campos, Minnesota’s attacking ability could prove to be just as effective as their impressive defence.
The first leg of the Amway Canadian Championship’s preliminary round kicks off Wednesday night at 7:30pm (April 22) at TD
Place as Fury FC tackle FC Edmonton. Ottawa returns to NASL action April 25 hosting the Fort Lauderdale Strikers at 3:00pm.

About Ottawa Fury FC
Ottawa became the 9th club in the modern era of the North American Soccer
League on June 20, 2011 when the NASL awarded an expansion franchise
granted to the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG). On February
26, 2013 it was announced that Ottawa's newest pro sports team would bear
the name Ottawa Fury FC - a named already deeply rooted in the Ottawa
soccer community. Ottawa Fury FC play out of TD Place at the redeveloped
Lansdowne Park.
Prior to being granted an NASL franchise, the organization existed as the
Ottawa Fury Soccer Club - one of the most recognizable names at the
development level across North America. Founded in 2000, current Fury FC
President and OSEG Partner John Pugh purchased the Fury franchise in 2002
and would spend the next decade building one of the most respected youth
academies in North America, a successful PDL program that has seen players
move on to the professional ranks and the W-League's most storied
franchise that captured a North American Championship in 2012. The Club
boasted several successful grassroots, skill development and community
programs that, alongside the Youth Academy, continue under the Fury FC
banner.
