Aurora United Men’s FC hosted FC London at Sheppard’s Bush on Saturday night, where the home team fell to the visitors 4 – 3.

London’s Elvir Gigolaj notched the first goal 28 minutes into the first half, but Aurora’s Simon Adjei tied things up two minutes later, leaving the first half a 1 – 1 affair.

Aurora came out strong in the second half with a goal from Zakariae Mahrady, but London’s Mohammad Nafar quickly tied things up 2 – 2.

The next 20 minutes were scoreless, but three goals in quick succession near the end of the second was Aurora’s undoing. While Adjei notched another one for Aurora, two London goals from Sean Fawsitt and a second goal from Gigolaj sealed the deal for the visitors, who returned home with the victory.

With Saturday’s win, FC London is currently sitting second in the League One Ontario’s West Division standings, just three points behind Sigma FC, based out of Mississauga. The Aurora men, on the other hand, are in a less lofty position, standing sixth in the east out of a field of eight.

The Aurora United FC men next take the field at the Hershey Centre this Saturday, July 23, facing off against the North Mississauga FC.

Game time is 8 p.m.
