Serbian White Eagles are flying high with an unbeaten string of nine games following a 3-1 home victory over Brampton City Utd at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke Friday night.
Striker Sahjah Reid opened the scoring for Serbian White Eagles at 28 minutes and struck a second goal when he found the net past Brampton City Utd goalkeeper Cristian Montero Valez 10 minutes later. The goals were numbers 8 and 9 for Reid in the CSL scoring race.
Radenko Kamberovic made it 3-0 for the home side at 37 minutes, the score at the break.
Serbian Eagles continued to dominate into the second half, but Brampton fought back to score at 49 minutes when Krzysztof Pierzchala beat Serbian Eagles goalkeeper Goran Skaric, reducing the lead to 3-1, the result at the final whistle.
The win improves Serbian White Eagles to a top-of-the-table 8-1-3 WLT record, five points ahead of SC Waterloo in second spot. Brampton are now at 3-6-2 for 11 points.
Serbian White Eagles made a slow start to the season with just two ties and a loss to Waterloo on May 22 for just two points from the first three games, but a recovery shot the Toronto-based team to the top of the CSL standings with a 2-0 victory over Brantford Galaxy on July 3.
Head coach Uros Stamatovic attributes the strong showing to teamwork with several new signings from Europe playing alongside young players from the club’s developmental program.
“The mix of experienced players having played in various parts of the world and young players from the Serbian community here in Canada has given the side good energy,” said Stamatovic. It’s paying off with results and we are pleased with the way our young players are responding.”
Serbian White Eagles travel to Brantford for their next game set for Sunday, August 2, a 7 pm kickoff at Lions Park.
