Astros Vasas FC won their fourth game of the season with a 3-2 victory over St. Catharines Wolves in the only game played in the CSL Wednesday.
All goals were struck in the first 45 minutes and the first came early – just one minute after the game got underway when forward Erik Gulyas hit the ball from five yards against the right post with St. Catharines goalkeeper Matthew Greco helpless as the ball entered the net.
Gulyas was on hand to score the second goal for the visitors 13 minutes later when he struck the rebound from Toth who punched out a first attempt on goal. It was a 2-0 Astros lead and the third of the season for Gulyas.
Jose Melo made it 3-0 at the 20 minute mark – he headed in his fourth goal of the current campaign.
St. Catharines started a recovery when Brett Larocque scored his fourth of the season at the half-hour mark, the goal starting with a free kick before the St. Catharines forward collected the ball to beat Astros Vasas goalkeeper Antal Andres Toth, a 3-1 score.
The Garden City side kept up the pressure in an effort to get on even terms and a second goal came at 34 minutes by Antonio Stranges during a skirmish in front of the Astros goal. It was 3-2 at the break and 3-2 at the final whistle, but not before the woodwork played a part during attempts to equalize by the home side during what turned out to be a scoreless second half.
Astros Vasas FC are rewarded with a 7th place in the standing as a result of the victory, they now have a 4-8-2 record for 14 points and climbing, while St. Catharines Roma Wolves are at 3-8-0 with nine points.
