Yves Tanonko was a thorn in Canyons side early on as he pounded home two goals within three minutes of each other. The first came off of a corner kick that Edgar Rodriguez sent to the far post. Defender Derek Stransky sent a header towards the goal, and Tanonko put the finishing touches on it by putting it into the back of the net.
Three minutes later Tanonko struck again taking a cross and hitting it off his head, and into the Canyons goal. Citrus’ third goal came just minutes into the second half, when Joey Obando sent a sent a beautiful shot into the goal, giving the Fighting Owls a 3-0 lead.
