LATE GOALS GIVE SCARBOROUGH A COME FROM BEHIND VICTORY SATURDAY

Late goals gave Scarborough SC a 3-1 come from behind away victory over SC Waterloo in the only First Division match in the Canadian Soccer League Saturday.

Waterloo held a 1-0 lead for most of the first half when Miodrag Kovacevic found the net past Scarborough goalkeeper John Trye at 3 minutes and that score held most of the first half until Scarborough were awarded a penalty following an untidy tackle inside the Waterloo 18 yard line. Scarborough’s Alexander Stojiljkovic drove the ball into the net from the spot at 42 minutes and it was 1-1 at the interval. It was goal 4 on the season for Kovacevic and Stojiljkovic’s 10 th of the 2018 campaign.

It was a closely contested second half heading for a draw until 86 minutes when forward Atif Hammud Ali headed a cross into the net out of reach of Waterloo goalkeeper Marko Jelic and just three minutes later Hammud Ali struck a second goal with a drive inside the box for a 3-1 score, which remained until the final whistle. The goals were 5 and 6 on the season for Hammud Ali.

The win gives Scarborough a 7-3-5 WLT record for 26 points and the east Toronto team retains third position in the standings, while Waterloo are at 6-5-2 for 20 points is in fourth place.
