SCARBOROUGH HAS THE WINNING CREDENTIALS

by

It’s without fanfare that  FC Vorkuta is so impressive while winning every match, home and away, since its season opener on May 25. But the toughest test so far may well be the visit to Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough this weekend to meet a home side that’s sitting second in the standings with an eye-catching 100 per cent record home record while conceding just a single goal in the four home games played so far this campaign. Only five goals have been allowed in all games played by the east Toronto team, a per game average that’s the best in the league.

And Scarborough are not shy in front of goal, having found the net 20 times in the seven games played, so the balance spells a determined effort this 2019 season to clinch a league title or overall championship that’s been elusive since entering the league in 2015. It may begin on Sunday.

Vorkuta visits Scarborough Sunday evening, an 8 pm kickoff.

Ukraine United have yet to mount a serious bid, having been defeated twice in the five games played so far this season, but a more positive record is expected as the league moves into a busy mid-season period. Last year’s First division title winner is at home to CSC Mississauga at Centennial Stadium Sunday afternoon.

The weekend opens with the first of three First Division matches scheduled for Huron Park in Mississauga with Hamilton City visiting for a clash with Real Mississauga Saturday evening, a 7 pm start.

Upcoming games:

FIRST DIVISION

Saturday, July 13  Huron Park 7 pm Real Mississauga vs Hamilton City     

Sunday, July 14 Centennial Stadium 1 pm   FC Ukraine United vs CSC Mississauga

Sunday, July 14 Birchmount Stadium 8 pm Scarborough SC vs FC Vorkuta            

 SECOND DIVISION

Sunday, July 14 St. Roberts Field 3 pm FC Vorkuta B vs CSC Mississauga B

Wednesday, July 17, Cardinal Newman Field 7 pm Brantford Galaxy B vs CSC Mississauga B         

Wednesday, Jul 17, Ontario Soccer Centre 9 pm                Kingsman B vs FC Vorkuta B

PICTURE: Temniuk’s 10th goal of the season leads First Division goalscoring.

FC Vorkuta won an abbreviated seventh game of the season by a 3-1 score over Brantford Galaxy –  a match cut short late in the second half due to the torrential rains, Serbian White Eagles overcame a 1-0 deficit to score two late goals for a 2-1 win over SC Waterloo,  and Scarborough were held to a 1-1 draw by Hamilton City, three games in the Canadian Soccer League First Division Saturday.

Vorkuta attacked early at Heritage Field but Brantford Galaxy struck first with a half volley by Bojan Samardzija, his fifth goal of the season, that caught the corner of the net for a 1-0 lead by the home side at 17 minutes.

Vorkuta equalized at 29 minutes when a rebound from a save by Galaxy goalkeeper Georgi Jovicic from a drive by Serhii Ursulenko was picked up by Bohdan Borovskyi who promptly found the net with a powerful shot.

Liubomyr Halchuk made it 2-1 for Vorkuta from the penalty spot at 47 minutes after Ursulenko was brought down just inside the box and at 50 minutes Mykola Temniuk took a through pass from Pavlo Chornomaz to drive a low shot into the far corner, a 3-1 score in favour of Vorkuta at the final whistle in difficult conditions during a downpour late in the game. It was Temniuk’s 10th goal of the season to lead  goalscoring in the First Division.

Vorkuta have a 7-0-0 WLT record for 21 points on top of the First Division, while Brantford Galaxy are at the foot of the table with a 0-6-1 record for one point.

Waterloo opened the scoring at RIM Park with a goal at 10 minutes by midfielder Miodrag Kovacevic, his 5th of the season,  and it was an even contest to the break with the score 1-0 for the home side.

There were few opportunities until Serbian White Eagles struck with two goals in the closing stages, the first by Bozidar Tadic who found the net past Waterloo goalkeeper Dalibor Ivanovic at 82 minutes and the winning goal three minutes later by forward Milos Scepanovic, his 4th of the season. Waterloo pressed for an equalizer late but it was 2-1 for the visitors at the final whistle.

Serbian White Eagles are in third position in the standings with a 5-1-0 record for 15 points following the win, while Waterloo are in 4th position with a 4-4-0 for 12 points.

Scarborough took a first half lead on a goal by Hammud Ali Atif and Lucas Raposo equalized for Hamilton City in the 1-1 draw in the early game at Heritage Field. Scarborough now has a 5-1-1 record for 16 points in second position in the table, while Hamilton City has a 1-3-2 record for five points in seventh position.

There are two midweek games upcoming in the Second Division:

Wed. July 10, Cardinal Newman Field 7 pm Hamilton City B vs Kingsman B             

Wed. July 10, Iceland Field 9 pm  Serbian White Eagles B vs Brantford Galaxy B

Expansion team Kingsman A upset current First Division title holder Ukraine United 2-1, while in the local Mississauga encounter CSC Mississauga and Real Mississauga fought to a 1-1 draw, two games in the Canadian Soccer League First Division Friday night.

Follwing a scoreless first half, forward Ivan Kucherenko opened the scoring for visiting Ukraine United at Esther Shiner Stadium, the goal coming from a penalty at 59 minutes when Kingsman defender Oleksandar Alieksieiev brought down a Ukraine United player in the box and referee Afsar Khan has no hesitation in pointing to the spot.

Kingsman equalized on a goal by forward Viktor Raskov five minutes later. Raskov, who entered as a substitute at halftime, took a  good cross from Andrii Kovalchuk  to head into the net.

Raskov also struck the late winner for the home side, taking a long ball from Hlib Kiselov to find the net with a chip shot at the 86th minute mark.

Kingsman were reduced to 10 men at 88 minutes when Stanislav Katana was shown the red card by referee Khan following a second caution and the 2-1 score in favour of Kingsman held to the final whistle.

Real Mississauga led after six minutes at the Hershey Centre, the 1-0 score judged an own goal when a dangerous cross by forward Danilo Richards was partially blocked by CSC Mississauga midfielder Ivan Sozanski, but then entered the net past CSC goalkeeper Ivan Koko.

CSC Mississauga equalized at 14 minutes when Amador Torres was brought down in the box on a counter attack and  defender Peter Vukadin struck from the penalty spot into the bottom right corner of the net. It was 1-1 at the break.

Real Mississauga were reduced to 10 men at 67 minutes when forward Mohamed Elsabahy was given a second caution and shown the red card by referee Marco Jaramillo.

It was end to end with both sides on the attack in the second half and CSC Mississauga found the net from close range at 83 minutes but the goal was ruled offside. The 1-1 draw held to the final whistle.

Saturday July 6, Heritage Field 6.30 pm   Hamilton City vs Scarborough SC

SCARBOROUGH DEFEATS UKRAINE UNITED 2-0 SUNDAY

by

Scarborough SC scored twice in the first half to defeat FC Ukraine United 2-0 in a well played encounter at Birchmount Stadium Sunday night, to complete the holiday weekend schedule in the Canadian Soccer League.

There were few opportunities on both sides, but Scarborough scored at 19 minutes when midfielder Naieemollah Mobin found the net with a shot from 12 yards for a 1-0 lead.

Midfielder Zoran Knezevic increased the lead to 2-0 with a drive from 10 yards at the 30th minute mark, the score at the break and at the final whistle.

The victory made amends for the east Toronto team following a loss by the same score to Ukraine United at Centennial Stadium on June 23.

Scarborough takes a second position in the First Division standings as a result of the win, an improved 5-1-0 WLT record for 15 points while conceding just 4 goals in the 6 games played.

It’s the first defeat of the season for Ukraine United, now with a 3-1-0 record for nine points in fifth position. The defeat also leaves FC Vorkuta the only CSL First Division team with a 100 per cent record at this juncture of the current season.

Sayid Belmokhtar opened the scoring for Kingsman at 38 minutes, finding the net past Galaxy goalkeeper Georgi Jovicic for his second goal of the season. It was 1-0 at the interval in an otherwise even  first half contest.

Midfielder Ivan Yanchev made it 2-0 for Kingsman at 78 minutes and three minutes later it was 3-0 for the home side on a goal by defender Hlib Kiselov.

Midfielder Vitaliy Kolomychenko completed the scoring at 87 minutes and it was 4-0 at the final whistle.

Kingsman move up to sixth position in the First Division standings with a 2-4-0 (WLT) record for six points, while Brantford Galaxy are winless with a 0-5-1 record at the foot of the table.

There are three CSL First Division games remaining in the Canada Day holiday weekend:

VORKUTA SETTING TORRID PACE

Following the 2-0 defeat of Scarborough SC by FC Ukraine United on June 23, FC Vorkuta and Ukraine United remain the only teams with a 100 per cent record since the CSL First Division kickoff on May 19. If points are not dropped earlier, these two teams have an opportunity to maintain and extend their string of victories to August 3 when they come together for the first time in the current campaign at the Ontario Soccer Centre.

FC Vorkuta has set a torrid pace moving into the new season scoring 29 goals for five victories, so it’s not surprising that two Vorkuta players, Mykola Temniuk and Iaroslav Solonynko lead the First Division in  goalscoring. Temniuk has so far posted two hat-tricks. Solonynko, 28, has a strong background in high level soccer mostly in his native Ukraine and Poland before signing for Vorkuta in 2017. Vorkuta will host Hamilton City on Saturday.

Ukraine United has the 100 per cent record to date by winning three games by slim margins, but has conceded just a single goal.  It’s a quick return date with Scarborough at Birchmount Stadium on Sunday night following the recent clash between these two teams on June 23. Scarborough will be out to make amends for their 2-0 loss to Ukraine United on that Sunday evening.

Real Mississauga (1-3-0 WLT) host SC Waterloo (3-3-0) at Huron Park on Saturday and the opening game in this upcoming Canada Day holiday weekend has Kingsman A (1-4-0) at home to Brantford Galaxy (0-4-1) at Esther Shiner Stadium

Canada Day Holiday Weekend CSL First Division schedule:

Friday, June 28 Esther Shiner Stadium 9 pm Kingsman A vs Brantford Galaxy

 Saturday, June 29 Huron Park 7 pm Real Mississauga vs SC Waterloo

 Sunday, June 30 Birchmount Stadium 8 pm Scarborough SC vs FC Ukraine United

DAVID SCHIPPER – HAVE SOCCER SHOES WILL TRAVEL

DAVID SCHIPPER – HAVE SOCCER SHOES WILL TRAVEL

Have soccer shoes, will travel.

Former Canadian Soccer League player David Schipper may be anywhere right now, but wherever he is, he is a good candidate for our ‘Where Are They Now’ series of promising former CSL players.

David Schipper was born and raised in the coastal city of San Diego, California, which is real soccer country, enough to stir memories of the high profile San Diego Sockers of the original North American Soccer League. It’s also the team which Canadian explosive striker and member of Canada’s Hall of Fame, the late Mike Stojanovic, played while a member of the Canadian national team and was a staunch supporter of the 2006 launch of Serbian White Eagles in the CSL.

Schipper first made a name for himself playing for Arizona Wildcats at the University of Arizona in Tucson before venturing north to Seattle to play for Seattle Impact in the Major Indoor Soccer League.
It was Mexico, however, where the midfielder, sometimes full back, made his first attempt into professional soccer, a pre-season trial with Ascenso MX side Dorados de Sinaloa, a club just purchased by the more substantial Xolos de Tijuana. That tryout proved to be unsuccessful and was followed with a trip to Cancun for a trial with Atlante who play in the same league, but there also, Schipper was not offered a contract.

Undeterred, the San Diego native returned to his hometown and was signed by the then indoor Sockers to play in the club’s reserve team. Schipper then signed for FC Force at Bonita, California, in the National Premier Soccer League, fourth tier in the United States and it was during this time his ambitions gave thought to Canada.

He ventured north In 2015 and was successful in signing a three-year contract with York Region Shooters of the Canadian Soccer League, playing 56 games, scoring 17 goals through to the 2017 season. He took a diversion during his contract period on loan at the end of the 2015 going to Goiatuba Esporte Clube of Brazil, playing 12 games during Canada’s off season.

York Region Shooters won the regular season First Division title by an impressive 18 points margin over second place FC Ukraine United in 2016, which turned out to be Schipper’s first title win since turning pro. The high flying Shooters, which had conceded just 10 goals during the regular season, was surprisingly eliminated in the semifinal of the championship playoffs, a penalty kicks decision to Hamilton City.

York Region Shooters’ GM and assistant coach John Pacione recalls Schipper as “being a good player who played an important part in what was a successful period for the team. He was also a nice guy – we were pleased to have him,” he explained recently.

Schipper sought and gained a release after two years with the Shooters on receiving offers to play in Europe and signed a one year contract with Albatroz SC of Latvia to gain his second championship when Albatroz won the Latvian Second Division.

Schipper is Jewish, played for Team USA in the Maccabiah Games in Israel in 2017 and from time to time represented the United States in Futsal.

In 2018 Schipper took off for New Zealand to join Southland United in that country’s winter league and a top three finish was the highest in the team’s history. The well-travelled player also has a contract with Southern United FC of New Zealand’s summer league. After flying back to San Diego for surgery following an injury, he has returned to New Zealand and is now in his second season.

UKRAINE DEFEAT SCARBOROUGH 2-0 SUNDAY

by

FC Ukraine United struck two second half goals to defeat Scarborough SC 2-0 at Centennial Stadium in the only CSL First Division game played Sunday.

It was a well-played first half with good pace between two evenly matched teams and not until the 60th minute was the scoreless deadlock broken with a well taken goal by Bohdan Skotskyi. The defender took a pass from Ihor Sorotoskyi to take a strong rising shot from 20 yards across the goalmouth and inside the far post.

Scarborough raided the Ukraine goal in an effort to level the score and the best scoring opportunity came at 66 minutes when forward Kiril Dimitrov was brought down outside the box and the free kick by Dimitrov went inches wide of the left post.

Ukraine went further ahead 2-0 at the 80th minute when midfielder Taras Kryvyy moved the ball forward to Nazar Milishchuk outside the box and his ground shot beat the oncoming Scarborough goalkeeper John Trye to enter the net while the visitors’ defenders appealed for an offside call.

It was FC Ukraine’s third win in as many games to maintain a 100 percent early season record, while Scarborough suffered its first defeat of the season.

There are four CSL First Division games scheduled for the upcoming Canada Day holiday weekend:

Friday, June 28 Esther Shiner Stadium 9 pm Kingsman A vs Brantford Galaxy

Saturday, June 29 Huron Park 7 pm Real Mississauga vs SC Waterloo

Saturday, June 29 Ontario Soccer Centre 7 pm FC Vorkuta vs Hamilton City

Sunday, June 30 Birchmount Stadium 8 pm Scarborough SC vs FC Ukraine United

WIRLWIND KICKOFF FOR PROLIFIC VORKUTA

by

FC Vorkuta kept up its prolific scoring with a 5-1 defeat of SC Waterloo and in one other CSL First Division match played Saturday, Hamilton City were held to a 2-2 draw in their home encounter with Brantford Galaxy.

It was a whirlwind opening at the Ontario Soccer Centre with Vorkuta scoring five goals in the first 20 minutes of play, starting with Mykola Temniuk scoring for Vorkuta at the 3rd minute, beating two defenders before driving the ball into the near corner.  Almost immediately after the re-start Vadym Gostiev made it 2-0 with a powerful drive off a rebound.

Tamniuk increased the Vorkuta lead to 3-0 at six minutes, taking a long throw from Gostiev to side-step oncoming Waterloo goalkeeper Dalibor Ivanovic and find the net.

Temniuk struck again at 17 minutes to complete his hat-trick – his second hat-trick of the season – after taking a low cross from Serhii Melnyk on the right to find the top corner for a 4-0 Vorkuta lead.

Iaroslav Solonynko completed the Vorkuta barrage of scoring at the 20th minute mark with a picture goal from 23 yards following a good passing play and shot that caught the top corner. It was 5-0 at the interval.

Waterloo reduced the lead at 83 minutes when midfielder Miodrag Kovacevic beat Vorkuta goalkeeper Oleksandr Musiienko to score the visitors’ only goal and it was 5-1 at the final whistle. 

Vorkuta has now scored 29 goals in five regular season games, with Tamniuk leading the way with eight.

Aldin Kukic opened the scoring for Hamilton City at 25 minutes for a 1-0 half-time lead for the home side at Heritage Field and it was 1-0 at the break.  Bojan Samardzija of Brantford Galaxy playing on the left wing equalized with a powerful drive from 25 yards that beat Hamilton goalkeeper Alexandar Nicolic and it was 1-1 at the 50th minute mark.

Kukic scored a second goal for Hamilton City, finding the net past Brantford goalkeeper Georgi Jovicic following a miscue in the goalmouth, a 2-1 lead for the home side at 76 minutes.  Samardzija struck his second goal at 88 minutes for the Galaxy to tie the game 2-2.

A third match scheduled for Saturday, Real Mississauga vs Kingsman scheduled for Huron Park at 7 pm, was postponed.

In the CSL Second Division, two players each scored four goals for FC Vorkuta B in an 11-1 rout of Serbian White Eagles B at the St. Roberts Field Saturday afternoon. Kris Kezik and Fadi Salback were the 4-goal marksmen in the season opener for both teams.

There is one game remaining in the CSL First Division weekend schedule with FC Ukraine United at home to Scarborough SC at Centennial Stadium, a 7.30 pm kickoff on Sunday evening.

STRIZOVIC LATE WINNER FOR SERBIAN WHITE EAGLES

by

A late goal by midfielder Vladimir Strizovic was enough to give Serbian White Eagles a narrow 1-0 victory over CSC Mississauga at Centennial Stadium, the only match played in the Canadian Soccer League Friday.

With most of the play in the midfield leaving few opportunities to find either net, a scoreless outcome loomed large until Serbian White Eagles winger Bozidar Tadic found Milos Scepanovic with a free kick.  Scepanovic moved the ball to Strizovic who beat Mississauga goalkeeper Akeem Henry for the winning goal at the 79th minute mark.

Scepanovic came close to increasing the score 10 minutes later with a powerful drive that narrowly missed the upper woodwork. Bozidar, a recent acquisition who played top-flight in Greece and other parts of Europe was dangerous on the left wing, but the score held at 1-0 at the final whistle.

CSC Mississauga, which struggled in its inaugural 2018 season, continued with a strong performance that produced a 4-0 victory over Kingsman on June 16.

“Our team played well despite the loss and especially considering we were missing four players in Europe as part of the Toronto Croatia entry in the Croatian World Club Championship,” explained CSC Mississauga GM Mile Milkovic following the final whistle. Milkovic was referring to the games about to be  played in Zagreb consisting of Canberra FC (Australia), SC Croat San Pedro (United States), NK Pajde Mohlin (Switzerland), Toronto Croatia (Canada), SV Slavonija Bern (Switzerland) and Vojvodina (Serbia). The competition is played every four years and Toronto Croatia has won two of the three times played to date. The Toronto roster  now in the Croatian capital consists of 22 players. The final is played on June 28.

The remaining games in the First Division of the Canadian Soccer League this weekend are:

Saturday, June 22, Heritage Field 6:30 pm  Hamilton City vs Brantford Galaxy

Saturday, June 22, Huron Park 7 pm Real Mississauga SC vs  Kingsman A

Saturday,  June 22, Ontario Soccer Centre 9 pm FC Vorkuta vs SC Waterloo

Sunday, June 23, Centennial Stadium 7:30 pm FC Ukraine United vs Scarborough SC

AT LEAST ONE TEAM WILL END WEEKEND IMPERFECT

With a 100 percent record averaging 6 goals per game, FC Vorkuta are off to a flying start in an attempt to capture top honors yet again this season.  In its first two campaigns -2017 and 2018 – the club named after an isolated community in northern Russia has won a First Division title, has gained a regular season runner-up position, has won the overall CSL championship and has so far  these early days of a new campaign demonstrated a determination to repeat, if not exceed these achievements.

Vorkuta is at home to SC Waterloo at the Ontario Soccer Centre, one of three games scheduled for  Saturday following  earlier encounters between Hamilton City and Brantford Galaxy at Heritage Field and a clash between Real Mississauga and Kingsman A at Huron Park.

Serbian White Eagles open the weekend at home to CSC Mississauga at Centennial Stadium on Friday night and the final game of the three-day schedule may be the most interesting when two teams with 100 per cent record, Ukraine United and Scarborough, come together also at the popular Etobicoke ground. Both teams have been impressive, with Scarborough conceding just 2 goals in four games and Ukraine United have allowed a single goal in its 2-game season so far. At least one team will end the match no longer perfect.

The weekend games:

Friday, June 21, Centennial Stadium 7 pm  Serbian White Eagles vs CSC Mississauga

Saturday, June 22, Heritage Field 6:30 pm  Hamilton City vs Brantford Galaxy

Saturday, June 22, Huron Park 7 pm  Real Mississauga SC vs  Kingsman A

Saturday,  June 22, Ontario Soccer Centre 9 pm    FC Vorkuta vs SC Waterloo

Sunday, June 23, Centennial Stadium 7:30 pm        FC Ukraine United vs Scarborough SC

A well placed header by defender Zoran Pesic gave Serbian White Eagles a 2-1 home victory over SC Waterloo at Centennial Stadium in the only game played in the Canadian Soccer League Friday.

Pesic thumped the cross by Danilo Bakoc into the net past Waterloo goalkeeper Dalibor Ivanovic to break a 1-1 deadlock late in the game, giving Serbian Eagles their third win in four matches played to date.

The home side opened the scoring at 44 minutes on a penalty kick taken by Milos Scepanovic after midfielder Vladimir Strizovic was brought down in the penalty box. Referee Rami Arbaji pointed to the spot and Scepanovic drove the ball past Ivanovic for the 1-0 lead which held to the interval.

Waterloo defender Gregor Zugelj tied the game 1-1 at 64 minutes for the visitors, a free kick from 27 yards that entered the net off the crossbar, leaving Serbian White Eagles’ goalkeeper Goran Skaric little chance to make the save.

Pesic struck the winner at 85 minutes and the 2-1 Serbian Eagles’ lead held to the final whistle.

There are three remaining First Division games being played over the weekend and the CSL Second Division opens the new season with three games this coming week.
