SOCCER—Chico Borja's goal at 89:23 gave the Cosmos a 3-2 victory over Montreal in the sixth straight game between the two clubs to be decided by a single goal. Giorgio Chinaglia, goalless in five games, scored his 13th of the year in that game and added three more in a 6-2 defeat of Portland to re-assume the league scoring lead with 41 points. With four assists in the same game, Cosmo Midfielder Vladislav Bogicevic became the first NASL player to record more than 100 career assists. Bogie's outburst helped end the Timbers' win streak at three and boosted the Cosmos' point total to 150, tops in the league and far ahead of Toronto (107) and Montreal (98) in the Eastern Division. The Manic's depression deepened with another last-minute loss as Vancouver's Carl Valentine got the only goal of the game at 87:58. The Whitecaps, who had an earlier 3-2 overtime defeat of Fort Lauderdale, replaced San Jose, 1-1 on the week, atop the Western Division. Tulsa, second to the Strikers in the Southern Division, won 3-0 over Tampa Bay, as Laurie Abrahams got a pair of goals, and 5-1 over Toronto, icing the Blizzard with three goals late in the second half. For the suddenly slumping Strikers, matters only got worse when San Diego, under the guidance of former Striker Coach Ron Newman, socked Fort Lauderdale 7-1. The second—and thus, technically, the winning—goal was provided by the Strikers themselves, as Defender Bob Bolitho deflected the ball past surprised Goalie Jan Van Beveren (page 36). With the game secure at 5-1, Newman, not one to go easy on the salt, called on his goaltender, Volkmar Gross, to convert a penalty kick. He did, becoming the first NASL goalkeeper to score this year.
