MISSISSAUGA RIVALS BATTLE TO SCORELESS TIE FRIDAY
CSC Mississauga and Real Mississauga played to a scoreless tie in the only CSL First Division match played Friday.
It was an even, well played encounter, at times end to end, but attempts on both sides to break through usually broke down inside the penalty box and on occasion both goalkeepers – Faris Efendic for CSC Mississauga and Senad Poracanin for the visitors – were solid when the ball came their way.
Forward Pero Menalo and midfielder Jeison Steven Parra-Rengifo were prominent for CSC Mississauga throughout and Axcel Avogadro of that team had the best opportunity to find the net when his header went just wide of the right post from a corner kick at 40 minutes.
Miguel Angel Chavez-Vejar and Danilo Richards put in strong performances for Real Mississauga.
“We had most of the possession, but it was a tough game and our finishing was a little off at times when we failed to take advantage after creating opportunities to score,” said CSC Mississauga head coach Silvester Trograncic at the final whistle.
CSC Mississauga has a 0-2-2WLT record for 2 points, while Real Mississauga has a 0-1-1 for one point in the opening games of the 2018 campaign.
There is one game Saturday when league leaders FC Vorkuta travel to RIM Park, Waterloo, for a game with SC Waterloo, a 6.30 pm start, and on Sunday, Scarborough SC is at home to Brantford Galaxy, an 8 pm kickoff at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough, to be followed by a late game Sunday night when FC Ukraine United are at home to Serbian White Eagles at Centennial Stadium in Toronto’s west end, a 9 pm kickoff.
