Amardo Oakley and Nenad Simic also struck first half goals for a 3-0 Burlington lead at half-time. Niagara reduced the lead to 3-1 when forward Mohammed Mohammed beat Burlington goalkeeper Elvis Mesic at the 49 minute mark, but Burlington dominated the remainder of the second half with Vujovic’s two goals to complete the hat-trick.
Nenad Simic found the net past Niagara’s goalkeeper Stefan Avramovic for his second goal of the night, and Erwin Uzunovic also scored twice.
Vujovic scored three first half goals in the Burlington 5-0 defeat of Brampton City Utd at Nelson Stadium, Burlington on May 31. Sasa Vidovic opened the scoring for Brantford Galaxy in the late game at Centennial Stadium, he found the net past Atomic goalkeeper Vasyl Shpuk after nine minutes and this was followed by a goal from Galaxy’s Zdenko Jurcevic at the 31 minute mark for a 2-0 Brantford lead, the score at half-time.
Jurcevic increased the Brantford lead to 3-0 at 49 minutes, the score at the final whistle.
