SOCCER—NASL: The good news for the Eastern Division-leading Cosmos was once again Roberto Cabanas, whose eighth and ninth goals of the season, the latter at 2:56 of overtime, gave them a 2-1 victory over Montreal (page 68). The bad news was a decree from the government of Paraguay ordering Cabanas to join his teammate-countryman Julio Cesar Romero for a World Cup qualifying match against Chile last Sunday. Even without them, the Cosmos beat Atlanta, the Southern Division leader, 2-1, as league scoring leader Giorgio Chinaglia picked up his 17th goal on a penalty kick. Edmonton Defenseman Joe Raduka had some good news and some bad news, too. With 23 minutes to play and the score tied 1-1 in the Drillers' game with Los Angeles, Raduka headed an 18-foot shot over the goaltender's head for a score. Unfortunately, the shot had flown off the back of Raduka's head. The goalie was his teammate, John Baretta, and the score gave the game to the Aztecs, 2-1. Los Angeles remained on top in the Western Division after San Diego fell 1-0 to Chicago. It was the 10th win in 13 games for the Sting, the leader in the Central Division. Calgary moved out of the cellar of the Northwest Division with a pair of upsets. In the Boomers' 4-1 thrashing of San Diego, Danish Winger Jorgen Kristensen assisted on all four goals—two by Willi Reimann, playing in his third NASL game, and one each by Franz Gerber and Victor Kodelja. In a 3-2 comeback triumph at Vancouver, it was Gerber who tied the score at 2-2 and Kodelja who clinched the victory in the shootout. Seattle, meanwhile, replaced the Whitecaps as the Northwest Division leaders with a 2-0 triumph over Dallas in which Steve Daley and Shaun Elliott both scored unassisted goals.
