Scarborough SC secured the runner-up position with a 2-1 victory over Serbian White Eagles in the only match played in the Canadian Soccer League First Division Sunday night.
The win leaves Scarborough with one game remaining in the regular season, a visit to Esther Shiner Stadium to complete its regular season against FC Vorkuta on Saturday, September 28.
Vorkuta and Scarborough have occupied the top two positions in the First Division for most of the regular season.
Vorkuta and Scarborough will enter the CSL Championship quarterfinals with home advantage during the weekend of October 11-13 and an additional two teams – expected to be from Waterloo, Serbian White Eagles or FC Ukraine United – will also have home advantage during the post-season playoffs. With five playoff spots confirmed – Vorkuta, Scarborough, Waterloo, Serbian White Eagles and Ukraine United, the remaining three have yet to be decided.
The quarterfinals will be followed by the semifinals during the weekend of October 18-20 and the CSL Championship Final will be played at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke on Saturday, October 26.
The CSL Second Division league title has yet to be decided to establish the top two teams gaining a bye into the playoff semifinals. The remaining four teams will play their quarterfinal matches, with the two winners and the top two teams in the standings meeting in the semifinals.
