Two key regular season games with implications for the CSL First Division title and the one outstanding berth in the playoffs for the CSL Championship are scheduled in the Canadian Soccer League Wednesday night.
The Serbian White Eagles vs Toronto Croatia game postponed on July 12 will now be played Wednesday, October 2 at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York with a 9 pm kickoff, is important for both teams, but for different reasons.
Toronto Croatia continues to bid for second place in the CSL First Division, while Serbian White Eagles hope to win enough points from their two remaining regular season games to clinch the last of the eight playoff positions.
But Astros Vasas FC are also in the hunt for the last playoff spot. The North York-based club has one game remaining and that’s against Windsor Stars on October 6 – two days after Serbian White Eagles are scheduled to play their last regular season game, also against Windsor, on October 4.
While a win would help Serbian White Eagles Wednesday, the last playoff berth will not be decided until October 4 – or even October 6, depending upon the outcome of Wednesday’s clash.
York Region Shooters, which continues a battle for first or second position in the First Division, are at Waterloo Wednesday with just a slim chance for the title top spot now occupied by Kingston FC. Failing that, the fight is on with Toronto Croatia for the runner-up second slot.
Game time at Warrior Field is also 9pm.
