KINGSTON GO THREE POINTS CLEAR…..Serbian Eagles and Astros Vasas also score victories Saturday

Kingston FC took a three-point lead at the top of the CSL First Division following a 2-0 defeat of St. Catharines Wolves, while Astros Vasas FC  and Serbian White Eagles both scored important victories in a bid for playoff spots, three games in the CSL Saturday.

Kingston had a distinct edge in the play throughout and opening the scoring at the Kiwanis Park in St Catharines with a goal by midfielder Jason Massie at 23 minutes. Massie collected a pass inside the box to drive into the net from 10 yards to the left of  St.Catharines goalkeeper Matthew Greco. It was Massie’s eighth goal of the season and it was 1-0 at the break.

Forward Mademba Ba struck the second goal for the visitors at 74 minutes when he headed in a cross from the right for a 2-0 final score to give Kingston their ninth win of the season and a 9-3-1 record for 28 points at the top. St. Catharines are at 3-7-0 for 9 points.

Serbian White Eagles opened the scoring early at Windsor Stadium and never looked back following a goal by Ivan Stankovic at the two minute mark. The goal came from a free kick taken just outside the box, a 1-0 lead for the visitors.

Sahjah Reid struck his first of two goals at 34 minutes for Serbian Eagles for a 2-0 lead  and four minutes later Windsor player David Kadoic was shown the red card by referee Scott Decker for serious foul play.

Reid scored his second at 61 minutes to complete the scoring for the Toronto-based team and despite good efforts and a close call from Windsor’s Chad Stuecher the home side failed to find the net and the game ended 3-0 in favour of Serbian White Eagles.

Astros Vasas FC continues to show good form and that paid off with a win over Niagara United  at Kalar Park in Niagara Falls.

The visitors led 1-0 on a goal by forward Erik Gulyas at five minutes – he found the net past Niagara goalkeeper Jonathan Bruggeling after collecting a cross from the right wing, and midfielder Robin Sibalin made it 2-0 at 30 minutes, the score at the interval.

Jose Melo increased the lead to 3-0 for Astros Vasas FC,  his third of the season and Niagara reduced the lead on a goal by Derek Paterson, his second of the campaign for a 3-1 Astros Vasas lead at half-time.

SHOOTERS, BRAMPTON, WATERLOO SCORE SUNDAY VICTORIES…Toronto Croatia falters

York Region Shooters handed Toronto Croatia their second loss in less than a week with a 2-0 defeat at the St. Joan of Arc ground in Maple and the three points earned put Shooters in a position tied for top spot as the CSL campaign enters the second half of the season.
Midfielder Ali Hamam scored the opening goal at 18 minutes, heading in past Toronto Croatia goalkeeper Antonio Ilic off a corner kick and in a game in which the current CSL champions had enough chances to draw level, Shooters’ goalkeeper Adrian Ibanez kept the visitors off the scoresheet and it was 1-0 at the break.
Richard West increased the Shooters’ lead to 2-0 when he took a pass from Kadian Lecky to place the ball into the net to the left of Ilic. It was 2-0 for York Region at the end.
York Region Shooters are back tied for the top position with Kingston FC  in the standings with an improved 8-2-1 WLT record for 25 points, while Toronto Croatia slip to fourth place with a 6-2-3 record for 21 points.
Forward Marcos Nunes opened the scoring for Brampton City Utd against St. Catharines Wolves at Victoria Park in Brampton, finding the net from close in past the St. Catharines’ goalkeeper Matthew Greco at the 19th minute mark and it was 1-0 at the interval. It was Nunes’ 12th goal of the season.
Milos Scepanovic struck twice for the home side in the second half, his first came at 77 minutes for a 2-0 Brampton lead and the former European standout scored again at 87 minutes for a 3-0 score at the final whistle. The goals were numbers 5 and 6 of the season for Scepanovic.
Brampton City Utd keep pace with a very good eight wins in their 8-2-0 record for 24 points trailing the top two by just a single point.
Forward Nicholas Lindsay struck the opening goal for Burlington at 31 minutes following a miscue in the Astros Vasas FC defence in the game at Downsview Park. A pass back to Astros’ goalkeeper Laszlo Barna was intercepted by Lindsay who promptly drove the ball into the back of the net and it was 1-0 for the visitors at half-time.
Burlington were awarded a penalty kick which resulted in a goal at the 71st minute when Astros Vasas defender Kurt Ramsey fouled in the box for referee Lyes Arfa to point to the spot.  Burlington player-coach William Etchu Tabi scored for a 2-0 lead, the game result.
Waterloo SC are edging closer to the top and Sunday’s victory at Warrior Field in Waterloo puts the southwestern Ontario side in a position to make a bid for the top spot during the second half of the season. Windsor Stars played with 10-men for a part of the game after Chris Suta was shown the red card by referee Ljubisa Vrljes.
Midfielder Shawn Brown opened the scoring for Waterloo at 59 minutes following a closely contested scoreless first half.
Forward Drazen Vukovic  made it 2-0 for Waterloo at 85 minutes and the home side defended the lead to the final whistle.
Waterloo have an improving 5-2-3 record for 18 points and closing in on the top group.

TOP FOUR CLUBS SEPARATED BY A SINGLE POINT ….Astros Vasas FC game moved to Downsview Park

Just a single point separates the top four teams in the CSL First Division and all four will see action this weekend. Two of these teams, York Region Shooters and Toronto Croatia come together at the St. Joan of Arc ground at Maple, just north of Toronto on Sunday, while Brampton City Utd are at home to St. Catharines Wolves the same day. 
An interesting clash also, sees Kingston FC at home to Serbian White Eagles at the Queen’s West Field on Saturday where the eastern Ontario side has a growing injury list, including league-leading goalscorer with 15 to his credit Guillaume Surot, and key attacking midfielder Catalin Lichioiu. But the club is optimistic these two players will be fit to play.
In Toronto, Astros Vasas FC will be without the advantage of their home ground Esther Shiner Stadium for the game with Burlington SC on Sunday. The ground is undergoing renovation following storm damage on July 8 and the game is moved to Downsview Park with an early kickoff at 12.45 pm. 
The improving Astros Vasas is now experiencing the benefit of new signings this season, including Jose Melo, who captained Mississauga Eagles last year and has played for the Canadian U-20 team and is a former academy player at Toronto FC. The Portuguese-born midfielder is aggressive on attack and has a proven goalscoring record

UNBEATEN TORONTO CROATIA SEEKS COVETED TOP SPOT…….all the weekend games

Toronto Croatia are anxious to move into a more familiar top spot in the CSL First Division and Saturday’s clash with Kingston FC will provide the opportunity  to be closer to that coveted position the current champions have been waiting for.

The key, it would appear, will rest on the extent to which the Toronto side can hold the prolific Kingston high scoring sharpshooters responsible for leading the league in goals so far this season. The most outstanding player to find the net more than anyone else in the league is French-born Guillaume Surot with 14 to his credit and proving to be a handful for an opposing defence throughout the 90 minutes. But he’s not alone, with midfielders Jason Massie and Catalin Lichioiu accounting for 10 goals between them – always at the ready to find the net if not setting up the ever-dangerous Surot.

While Toronto Croatia is the only unbeaten team in the CSL First Division, Kingston has an impressive 6-0-0 record at home, which makes Saturday’s match even more intriguing.

Brampton City Utd  should not be overlooked and a sharing of the points by Kingston and Toronto Croatia on Saturday would be just fine for the GTA team which visits an improving SC Waterloo for an interesting contest on Sunday.
