Serbian White Eagles scored late to defeat Kingston FC 1-0, while Toronto Croatia controlled their game with Brampton City Utd for a 3-1 victory, two games in the Canadian Soccer League Saturday night.
It was a cliff hanger at the Queen’s West Field in Kingston that went almost to the final whistle when forward Sahjah Reid took advantage of a falling save by Kingston goalkeeper Jaroslav Tesar to find the top left corner of the net, a 1-0 final score.
The well-attended game could have gone either way with Kingston midfielder Catalin Lichioiu close to scoring on two occasions late in the second half.
Toronto Croatia scored three unanswered goals for a 3-0 lead at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, two by midfielder Ivan Cutura at 12 and 29 minutes and a third by Bohdan Sulypka at 48 minutes before Leaford Allen struck for the visitors at the 78th minute mark, a 3-1 score at the final whistle.
In the CSL Second Division, Kingston FC reserves blitzed Serbian White Eagles B 12-0 with Mademba Ba finding the net seven times to almost repeat a similar scoring spree on June 29 when the prolific striker struck eight times in a 10-1 rout of Burlington SC reserves.
In one other Second Division match played Saturday, SC Waterloo B and Burlington SC B tied 2-2.
