BRAMPTON CITY UTD CRUSH GALAXY 7-1……David Guzman hat-trick

Midfielder David Guzman showed the way with a hat-trick in Brampton City Utd’s   crushing 7-1 defeat of Brantford Galaxy at Victoria Park in Brampton, the only game in the Canadian Soccer League’s First Division Sunday.

 

Guzman got things underway with a goal just five minutes into the game when he took a pass from Milos Scepanovic who moved the ball into the middle for Guzman to drive into the net.

 

It was Scepanovic who set up the second goal for Guzman to head home at 19 minutes for a 2-0 Brampton lead and Scepanovic scored the third nine minutes later, his 12th of the season and it was 3-0 at the interval.

 

Defender Mark Jankovic scored Brampton’s fourth goal 5 minutes into the second half for a 4-0 lead and Brantford reduced the lead to 4-1 at 68 minutes when Erwin Uzunovic scored from the penalty spot following a hand ball by the home side inside the box.

 

David Guzman struck his third goal at 72 minutes for a 5-1 Brampton lead and Ardit Xhameni made it 6-1 at the 82nd minute mark.

 

Xhameni completed the scoring at 89 minutes for a 7-1 final score.

 

It was Brantford’s third defeat in succession in 7 days following a period when the Galaxy appeared as a serious contender for First Division honours and the loss to Brampton is almost a repeat of the June 10 game when Brampton travelled to Lions Park to come away with an 8-2 victory.

 

Brampton improve to 6-4-3 WLT for 21 points and sixth in the standings, while the Galaxy are at 8-6-0 for 24 points in fifth place.
