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. <\/p>\n<p>With Saturday\u2019s win, FC London is currently sitting second in the League One Ontario\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>The Aurora United FC men next take the field at the Hershey Centre this Saturday, July 23, facing off against the North Mississauga FC. <\/p>\n<p>Game time is 8 p.m.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24
