Toronto Croatia completed its regular season with a 2-0 victory over Brampton City Utd at Centennial Stadium Saturday, but will have to wait until the following day to know the team’s final position in the First Division standings.
Last season’s CSL champions will end up in second or third position, depending on the outcome of the York Region Shooters vs Kingston FC encounter Sunday afternoon. York Region will need a win to finish in the runner-up position, anything less will assure Toronto Croatia of second spot.
Jarek Whiteman scored both goals for the home side, opening the scoring after 15 minutes when he beat Brampton goalkeeper Euloge Awitor Kodzo with a solo effort after collecting the ball from outside the box and moving in to score. It was 1-0 at the break.
Whitman’s second goal came from a left foot drive from 15 yards into the top left corner and the game ended 2-0. The two goals were Whiteman’s 4th and 5th of the season
Toronto Croatia end the regular season with a 14-3-5 WLT record for 47 points, while Brampton City Utd completes its regular season with a 13-8-1 record for 40 points, ending in fourth position.
Toronto Croatia B, the reserve team, also won its final game, a resounding 5-1 defeat of Serbian White Eagles B to jump over Niagara United B and London City B in the standings.
Toronto Croatia reserve squad ended its campaign with a 9-4-3 record for 30 points, Niagara United B ended with 29 points and London City B has 28.
