SC TORONTO, YORK REGION SHOOTERS SCORE DECISIVE VICTORIES SATURDAY

SC Toronto gave themselves a real confidence booster with an emphatic 4-0 defeat of league-leading Montreal Impact Academy in Montreal, while York Region Shooters kept pace in the standings by dismissing Windsor Stars 4-1, two games in the CSL Saturday.

 

Midfielder Carlos Nogueira opened the scoring at the 5^th minute mark for SC Toronto for a 1-0 score at half-time at the Marie Victorin ground and Alexandros Halis beat Montreal goalkeeper Dom Provost to make it 2-0 at 61 minutes.

 

Jarek Whiteman struck twice for the visitors, his first at 78 minutes for a 3-0 Toronto lead, then again 10 minutes later to make it 4-0, the final score.

 

SC Toronto completed the double on Montreal Impact Academy following a 2-0 early season win in Toronto on May 13.

 

The Toronto team has the most productive record of all 14 teams in the CSL First Division with nine wins from 11 games played. They suffered just one defeat, a narrow 1-0 loss to Toronto Croatia on June 10. SC Toronto now has five games in hand over the two top teams in the league, Montreal and York Region Shooters, both having played 16 games.

 

York Region Shooters recovered from an early 1-0 deficit in their home encounter with Windsor Stars at the St. Joan of Arc ground in Maple and went on to score four goals for the 4-1 victory.

 

Striker Aaron Byrd put the border team 1-up at 11 minutes and the lead held until York Region’s Jason De Thomasis equalized at 39 minutes with a drive from 25 yards.

 

Midfielder Dino Gardener put the Shooters 2-1 in the lead at 62 minutes and Des Humphrey increased the lead to 3-1 seven minute later with a volley from 18 yards.

 

Carlo Rivas rounded the scoring with a goal at 73 minutes for a 4-1 final score.
