SC TORONTO SEEK LEAGUE TITLE HONOURS WITH 3-0 WIN – Mississauga Eagles FC defeat London City 1-0

SC Toronto took a big step toward league title honours with a 3-0 victory over lowly North York Astros Sunday afternoon and in a later game Mississauga Eagles FC squeaked past London City by a 1-0 score. The third game in the CSL First Division, Brampton City Utd vs. York Region Shooters, was postponed due to ground conditions following heavy rains. 

 

SC Toronto forward Jarek Whiteman struck twice in his side’s defeat of the Astros, he opened the scoring by taking a rebound from three yards to put the ball in the net past Astros’ keeper Enea Perego and following a 1-0 score at the interval, increased the lead to 2-0 at 61 minutes with a drive from 18 yards.

 

Midfielder Dane Roberts made it 3-0 for SC Toronto at 87 minutes when he broke through to drive the ball inside the left post.

 

Mississauga Eagles FC had more of the play than the 1-0 result suggests when they improved their mid table position with a victory over London City at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga.

 

Forward Dave Simpson of the Eagles got the winner  when he found the left corner of the net from 6 yards at 63 minutes following a scoreless first half, a half during which the Mississauga team played with 10 men following the early ejection of  midfielder Ivan Juric for Serious Foul Play.

 

A third game scheduled for Sunday afternoon, Brampton City Utd vs York Region Shooters at Victoria Park in Brampton, was postponed at the ground following heavy early morning rains in the Toronto area.
