CAPITAL CITY FC SECURE PLAYOFF BERTH WHILE YORK REGION SHOOTERS ALSO EARN SATURDAY VICTORY

by

Capital City FC and York Region Shooters came through with strong wins in their pursuit of the CSL First Division title Saturday and in one other game scheduled, the Windsor Stars vs. TFC Academy game was postponed due to heavy rains that made the surface unplayable.


 


Capital City took the lead on a goal by forward Sullivan Silva from 15 yards at the 12th minute mark at Lions Park in Brantford, his eighth of the season and Akil Defreitas added two more, at 39 minutes, then again at 71 minutes to increase the lead to 3-0. Defreitas has eight goals so far this season.


 


Forward Junior Ellis made it 4-0 at 80 minutes, the score at the final whistle.


 


Capital City FC became the third team to clinch a playoff berth as a result of the win and are in third position in the standings with 44 points from 22 games played. Brantford Galaxy are in ninth position with 27 points.


 


York Region midfielder Dino Gardener opened the scoring at the St. Joan of Arc ground in Maple when he put the ball past Montreal goalkeeper Samuel Dufort from six yards.


 


 Des Humphrey increased the lead to 2-0 for the home side seven minutes later and  forward Kadian Leckie made it 3-0 at the 36th minute mark.


 


The score was unchanged at the break and the second half was scoreless for a 3-0 final.


 


York Region Shooters improve to 41 points from 22 games and remain in fourth position in the standings.
