York Region Shooters extended their unbeaten streak to five games with a 3-1 victory over London City, while North York Astros ran over Brampton City Utd 5-0 and Burlington SC surprised Kingston FC with a 2-1 away win, three games in the CSL First Division Sunday.
Nathan Klemencic opened the scoring for the home side at the Queen’s West Field in Kingston, finding the net past Burlington goalkeeper Vladimir Vujasinovic at the 12th minute mark and it was 1-0 for Kingston at half-time.
Burlington struck twice in the second half, the first at 73 minutes by forward Erwin Uzunovic who scored past Kingston ‘keeper Jaroslav Tesar and the winning goal by forward Darren Chambers at 89 minutes for a 2-1 Burlington away win.
Striker Jose Melo opened the scoring for North York Astros at Victoria Park in Brampton, the goal coming at the 5th minute and defender Jevon Vanderreyden made it 2-0 seven minutes later – the score at half-time.
Melo then struck a second goal from the penalty spot, a drive that was saved by Brampton goalkeeper Euloge Awitor Kodzo against the goalpost and the Astros’ striker found the net from the rebound for a 3-0 score at 55 minutes.
Midfielder Andres Camilo Duenas made it 4-0 for the visitors at 77 minutes and Jose Goncalves De Sousa rounded out the scoring to 5-0 at 81 minutes, the score at the final whistle.
The 5-0 triumph, which is North York’s first win of the season, tops the previous notable away wins in recent times when in 2009 the Astros defeated Portugal FC 4-0 at Brockton Stadium on August 2, and a 4-1 result over London City at Cove Road a month later.
London City went ahead at 32 minutes in their away encounter with league-leading York Region Shooters at the St. Joan of Arc ground in Maple, the goal coming from striker Marin Vucemilovic Grgic on a breakaway following an attack by the home club. It was 1-0 at half-time.
Richard West tied the score 1-1 for the Shooters at 69 minutes, heading in past London goalkeeper Vladimir Markotic, then West added a second 10 minutes later for a 2-1 York Region lead.
Recently-signed forward Yora Enzam scored his first for York Region Shooters at 87 minutes for a 3-1 lead and the final score.
There were record-breaking individual and team scores in the CSL Second Division when forward Mademba Ba ran rampant in finding the net seven times in Kingston FC reserve team’s 9-1 blitz of Burlington SC reserves, a result that put the eastern Ontario side on top of the Reserve Division.
That high score was well short of SC Waterloo’s riot at Eglinton Flats in Toronto’s west end where the western Ontario reserve side thumped Serbian White Eagles B, 16-0. Waterloo’s Nikola Miokovic led with six goals.
The result means the second time SC Waterloo has achieved a record-breaking performance in the CSL, the 16-0 result follows the double championship victories of November 3, 2013 when the club that represents Waterloo region captured the CSL Championship and the Second Division Championship in the same season.
