 The  Impact Academy side quickly overcame an early 1-0 deficit to score eight against St. Catharines Wolves, inflicting an 8-1 trouncing in the opener of four games scheduled in the CSL Sunday.

Forward Calvin Rosario gave St. Catharines an early lead just two minutes into the game at the St. Jean de Vianney Stadium in Montreal when he scored from the penalty spot following a foul inside the 18 yard line called by referee Mathieu Bourdeau.

 

The visitors were reduced to 10 men when Johnny Maurizio was shown the red card following a challenge with excessive force which referee Bourdeau considered serious foul play.

 

Montreal Impact Academy tied the game 1-1 at 29 minutes when awarded a penalty and midfielder Wandrille Lefevre put the ball past St. Catharines goalkeeper Claudio Perri.

Midfielder Zakaria Messoudi increased Montreal’s lead to 4-1 at 54 minutes and at the 75^th minute mark substitute Amine Meftouh increased the lead to 5-1 after entering the field in the second half.

The home side continued to attack the St. Catharines goal and at 77 minutes Lefevre struck his second and Montreal’s sixth for a 6-1 lead.

 

Forward Victor Ndiaye added a 7^th at 81 minutes and Alexander King entering as a substitute completed the scoring at 86 minutes for an 8-1 final score.

 

There was attractive soccer at Lions Park in Brantford where the result was in doubt until Galaxy forward Dave Simpson scored at the 86^th minute to give the home side a 1-0 victory over TFC Academy.

 

The goal came following a three-way passing play started by midfielder Niko Jelicic who crossed from the right wing to Logan Alexander who moved the ball to Simpson to score at 86 minutes.

 

Both teams had opportunities in the closing minutes, but the 1-0 score held until the final whistle.

 

SC Waterloo were very much on top in their game against London City, a 5-0 victory at the Seagram Stadium in Waterloo to record a second shutout following the 2-0 win over Windsor Stars on May 6.

 

Adis Hasecic opened the scoring at the 5^th minute mark when he found the net past London goalkeeper Zoran Pusica and midfielder Drazen Vukovic made it 2-0 four minutes later.

 

Hasecic scored a second goal at the 14^th minute mark to increase the lead to 3-0, the score at half-time.

 

Midfielder Haris Fazlagic made it 4-0 at 74 minutes and Vukovic struck his second to round out the scoring at 82 minutes for a 5-0 final.

 

Toronto Croatia midfielder Marin Vucernilovic Grgic opened the scoring to put Toronto Croatia in the lead over Brampton City Utd at Centennial Stadium – he sent a low drive to the right of Brampton goalkeeper Jason Lopez for a 1-0 Croatia lead at the 10 minute mark.

 

It was a hard-played close encounter throughout and looking like Croatia’s third early season win until Brampton drew level with a goal by midfielder Andy Garcia.  He took the rebound from a free kick to beat Croatia goalkeeper Panagiotis Koumoulas for the 1-1 draw.
