SCARBOROUGH HOLD SERBIAN EAGLES TO SCORELESS TIE FRIDAY

 

 

Serbian White Eagles were held to a scoreless tie in a close contest with visiting Scarborough SC, the only CSL First Division game played Friday.

Serbian Eagles had most of the early play and several scoring chances at Centennial Stadium in west Toronto, but following the interval both White Eagles and Scarborough almost went ahead with close calls.

Forward Luka Bojic’s shot struck the crossbar from 15 yards at 65 minutes with Scarborough goalkeeper John Trye well beaten and Zoran Rajovic’s long shot for Scarborough at 81 minutes struck the crossbar angle and  it was 0-0 at the final whistle.

Serbian White Eagles are third in the First Division table with a 1-0-2 WLT record and 5 points, while Scarborough is in fourth position with a 1-2-1 record for 4 points.

There are three First Division games in the CSL First Division on Saturday when FC Ukraine United visit Heritage Field for a game with Hamilton City at 6.30 pm , followed by a game at the OSA Soccer Centre in Vaughan where FC Vorkuta are at home to Waterloo SC at 8, and it’s Brantford Galaxy vs CSC Mississauga at the Heritage Field, an 8.30 pm start.

There are two Second Division games on Sunday with FC Vorkuta B at home to Milton SC B at St. Roberts HS, a 2 pm kickoff, and Scarborough B are at home to Brantford Galaxy B, a 6 pm kickoff at the OSA Soccer Centre.

 

STOJILJKOVIC FIREPOWER WINS PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD

   STOJILJKOVIC FIREPOWER WINS PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD

 

 

 

If you want to see a CSL player with high level potential in soccer, visit Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke on Friday night where Aleksander Stojiljkovic will be attempting to pile on an already impressive rate of scoring that brought the CSL top goalscorer award to the attacking midfielder for the 2017 season.

His team, Scarborough SC, will be visiting the west Toronto ground for a clash with Serbian White Eagles, a side not easy to score against –they conceded just 14 goals in the 2017 regular season and have so far allowed only one goal in two games played in this early 2018 campaign.

Stojiljkovic hit four in Scarborough’s 5-1 defeat of Hamilton City on May 27 and earned the league’s first Player of the Week award for the achievement, a repeat of similar performances  when the prolific Serb scored 3, then 4, then another 4 in the last month of the 2017 regular season.

It’s not the first time Stojiljkovic has attracted attention. The now 28 year old brought interest in his native Serbia where he made a number of senior club appearances starting at the age of 16 and eventually  played for top Serbian clubs FK Cukaricki and FK Sindelic Beograd based in the capital Belgrade. All before signing for SC Waterloo in Canada in 2014, then Scarborough in 2016. Stojiljkovic won the CSL Rookie of the Year award in his first season.

Stojiljkovic’s positional play has changed over time. After playing mainly on the wing, he was moved inside as an attacking midfielder, increasing his goals output. It’s the left foot that does most of the damage to the opposition, particularly as a dead ball specialist from just outside the box.

“Aleksander is a very intelligent player and using his experience from Europe he has adopted a role of giving direction on the field and encouragement and is now the team captain,” said Kiril Dimitrov, who was instrumental in signing Stojiljkovic to Scarborough.

Friday’s Serbian White Eagles vs Scarborough SC encounter, a 7 pm kickoff,  is followed by three First Division games on Saturday when FC Ukraine United visit Heritage Field for a game with Hamilton City, a 6.30 pm start, then a game at the OSA Soccer Centre in Vaughan where FC Vorkuta are at home to Waterloo SC at 8 pm and the Brantford Galaxy vs CSC Mississauga at the Heritage Field at 8.30 pm.

There are two Second Division games on Sunday with FC Vorkuta B at home to Milton SC B at St. Roberts HS, a 2 pm kickoff,  and Scarborough B at home to Brantford Galaxy B, a 6 pm kickoff at the OSA Soccer Centre.

HOME TEAMS HELD TO A DRAW IN CSL ACTION FRIDAY

Serbian White Eagles and FC Vorkuta played to a 1-1 tie, and CSC Mississauga vs Brantford Galaxy game ended scoreless, two games in the Canadian Soccer League First Division Friday night.
It was a well-played encounter at Centennial Stadium, but also a heated one during the final 15 minutes of play when a claim for a penalty kick by Serbian White Eagles was denied and an ensuing dispute resulted in the home side being reduced to eight men for the remainder of the game against FC Vorkuta.
Serbian Eagles, playing their season opener, were earlier in the game reduced to 10 men when Misel Kusara was shown a second yellow and a red by referee at the 54 minute mark. The home side then lost defender Radenko Kanberovic and forward Milos Scepanovic at 81 minutes following incidents over the penalty claim.
Vorkuta attacked following the kickoff, but Serbian Eagles were first off the mark with a 1-0 lead at 41 minutes, scoring from a corner kick taken by Scepanovic and headed in by Kyle Stewart out of reach by Vorkuta goalkeeper Oleksandr Musiienko. The goal came minutes after Luka Bojic failed to score for Serbian White Eagles, an opportunity just short of the Vorkuta goal line.
Vorkuta equalized at 49 minutes, a strong drive straight down the middle by midfielder Valerii Haidarzhi that easily beat Serbian Eagles’ goalkeeper Goran Skaric for a picture goal from 25 yards.
Expansion club CSC Mississauga opened its inaugural season in the Canadian Soccer League against Brantford Galaxy at the Iceland Field in Mississauga and it was an even contest throughout for the scoreless tie.
There was one late game in the CSL Second Division Friday night with Vorkuta B dominating, a 12-1 victory over Serbian White Eagles B at Centennial Stadium in the second half of a double header following the earlier First Division clash.
There is one game scheduled in the CSL First Division on Sunday with Scarborough SC at home to Hamilton City, an 8.30 pm kickoff at Birchmount Stadium and there is another Second Division game scheduled over the weekend, Scarborough SC B at home to Halton United B at the OSA Soccer Centre Stadium on Saturday night, that a 7 pm kickoff

CSL COACHES WILL BE LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL PLAYER

by

When in 2004 Paul Munster, a 23 year old striker stepped on the Strahov Stadium surface in the Czech Republic to play for Slavia Prague, it was hard to realize the native of Northern Ireland had just a few months earlier sought a trial at Cove Road in London, Ontario in an attempt to play for London City reserves in the Canadian Soccer League, known then as the forerunner CPSL.

Munster was recommended to London City by Eddie Edgar, a well-known coach in Kitchener whose son, David Edgar played for Newcastle United in the English Premier League. The younger Edgar, 19, caused a stir when scoring an important tying goal in only his second game for Newcastle against Manchester United before 52,000 fans on New Year’s Day, 2006.

Munster made the London City reserve team, scoring 12 goals in just three games and the talented striker was then moved to the first team where he found the net 25 times to win the CSL First Division scoring title by a record-breaking 10-goal margin.

Munster later played for Orebro SK of Scandinavia, was then transferred to Bunkeflo IF, assisting the club in promotion. He eventually returned to the Czech Republic to join SK Hradec Kralove, finishing as the club’s top scorer before returning to Northern Ireland to play for Linfield where he won the league title and Irish Cup and was the club’s top scorer in the 2009/2010 season.

London City players won the CSL Rookie of the Year honors in 1998, 1999 and 2004, a time when several players followed Munster’s footsteps to gain trials in top soccer overseas. Defender Tyler Heming signed for Toronto FC, goalkeeper Scott Mueller, strikers Semir Mesanovic and Cameron Medwin all travelled to Europe.

Other CSL clubs were similarly busy with trials and signing players showing promise. Bermuda-born full back Andre Manders said “Playing for York Region Shooters definitely helped me get into the national team of Bermuda. Playing in the CSL helped me physically and mentally.”
A number of players in the CSL have been selected for Canada’s national youth teams, such as centre back Nikola Paunic of Serbian White Eagles. Others in the league to gain youth honors in recent years were centre back Skylar Thomas, full backs Dino Gardner and Jordan Murrell, defender Tyler Pasher, midfielders Keven Aleman, Bryce Alderson and Oscar Cordon. And the list goes on, with Justin Maheu, Sergio Camargo, Jonathan Lao, Brennan McNichol, Matthew Stinson and Ashton Morgan all playing in the CSL prior to being selected Odaine Demar was selected to play for the Jamaican U-20 team, Julien Edwards and Taylor Benjamin were selected for Guyana, Stephane Emard named to the St. Lucia team. There are more, of course, particularly in Quebec where players of the CSL teams were selected for Canada’s youth squads.

CSL clubs continuing with trials leading up to kickoff time for a new 2018 season later this month, a time when CSL coaches will be attempting to identify more prospects for higher level soccer in Canada and elsewhere.

FOR PROMISING PLAYERS IT CAN BEGIN IN THE SECOND DIVISION

by

Dick Howard presents CSL 2012 Rookie of the Year to Jonathan Osorio of SC Toronto.

The CSL Second Division of eight teams will get the 2018 campaign underway on Friday, May 25 for a four-month schedule through to the second half of September. The regular season will be followed by post-season Second Division Championship quarter-final playoff games on September 28, the semifinals will be played on October 5 and the Second Division Championship Final the week of October 12.
Six of the Second Division teams (Brantford Galaxy B, CSC Mississauga B, Real Mississauga B, Scarborough B, Serbian White Eagles B and Vorkuta B) are all part of larger clubs with teams in the top CSL First Division. Burlington B and Milton B make up the eight.
The CSL Second Division provides an opportunity for local players to take a first step into a professional environment with and a further step into the nearby tough CSL First Division, a path which, for many players, been a prelude to higher level soccer at home and abroad.
Many young players have taken the CSL route to a highly successful professional career, the most visible example today being Toronto FC’s Jonathan Osorio, 25, a goal scoring midfielder who was named CSL Rookie of the Year in 2012 while playing for CSL First Division side SC Toronto. Osorio was invited to join the Toronto FC Academy, signed by Toronto FC in 2013 and has been a regular since. He has appeared 30 times for the Canadian national men’s team.
In earlier times, the most successful former CSL player has been Brampton-born Atiba Hutchinson who made a brief appearance for York Region Shooters. Hutchinson has played at a high level in Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands and is presently with Besiktas of Turkey. While playing for Besiktas in a UEFA Champions League game against English Premier League side Arsenal, won 1-0 by the English team, Arsenal manager Arsena Wenger described Hutchinson as the most impressive Besiktas player.
The three seasons prior to 2012 were particularly productive for the CSL when no less than 40 players throughout the league played for various national teams, mostly youth U-21 and U-23, in different parts of the world.

Partnership with American Soccer League a Historic Occasion

TONY KOCIS, SC WATERLOO PRESIDENT
TEN TEAMS WILL KICKOFF CSL SEASON MID-MAY…  Partnership with American Soccer League a historic occasion

Ten teams will kickoff a new First Division season and launch a new era in the Canadian Soccer League mid-May, a six-month schedule supplemented by cross-border games against teams in the soon-to-be launched American Soccer League playing out of the northeastern United States.

It will be a historic venture for the semi-professional CSL, which was originally launched as the National Soccer League in 1926 and re-branded through the years to become the CSL as we know it today. Now operating as a private league – which the league has elected to do on more than one occasion in its history – the CSL will have a working relationship with its U.S. counterpart to also include youth player development and marketing.

The ten teams to kickoff the CSL top division in the new season are Brampton City Utd, Burlington SC, London City, Kingston FC, Niagara United, North York Astros, SC Waterloo, Serbian White Eagles, Toronto Croatia and York Region Shooters. Teams for the CSL Second Division will be announced March 31.

SC Waterloo, which provides a much-needed professional soccer presence in the densely-populated youth soccer region that exists in the twin cities of Kitchener-Waterloo and the regional soccer community that reaches out to out as far as Cambridge, Guelph and Stratford, are the current CSL champions following a 3-1 victory over Kingston FC in the Championship Final November 3. The southwestern Ontario club also captured the Second Division title when their second string defeated Toronto Croatia Reserves on the same day, the first time a CSL club has taken both titles in the same season.

“It certainly was a great season when all of the hard work paid off and we want to build on our success and do even more to provide attractive soccer and help in player development throughout the region, all while the Canadian Soccer League continues to grow as a strong member of the Canadian soccer community,” said Tony Kocis, president of SC Waterloo.

SC Waterloo are scheduled for their opening home game at Warrior Field in Waterloo on Sunday, May 25, a day set by several clubs for their home opener. Serbian White Eagles will have Lamport Stadium in Toronto’s west-end as their home ground in 2014 and have scheduled their home opener for Saturday, May 31.

The complete 2014 CSL schedule will be released early April.

Toronto Croatia Wins A Squeaker

Toronto Croatia gained an important 1-0 victory over league-leading Kingston FC to remain unbeaten and nudge closer to the top of the CSL First Division, while St. Catharines Wolves picked up their second win of the season, a 2-0 defeat of Niagara United, two games in the CSL First Division Saturday.

Following a scoreless first half at the Queen’s West Field in Kingston, Toronto Croatia striker Tihomir Maletic struck the only goal at the 60th minute mark, a low drive past Kingston goalkeeper Jaroslav Tesar. The goal came following a close-call by Maletic four minutes earlier that was saved by Tesar who pushed the ball on to the crossbar for the save.

Kingston forward Guillaume Surot came close to equalizing late in the second half, but the 1-0 score held to the final whistle.

Two goals by St. Catharines Wolves forward Brett Laroque gave his side their first win since May 24 in the game with Niagara United at Kalar Park in Niagara Falls, the first goal coming at 42 minutes when Laroque beat Niagara goalkeeper John De Luca following a breakaway and it was 1-0 at the interval.

Laroque struck his second goal at 71 minutes for a 2-0 St. Catharines lead, the score at the final whistle.

by

York Region Shooters gained their fourth successive victory with a 2-1 defeat of Serbian White Eagles, Windsor Stars defeated Burlington SC 3-0 and London City scored their second win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Astros Vasas FC, three games in the CSL Friday night.

Matthew Rios struck the winner for York Region at 47 minutes, a volley that beat Avramovic from the edge of the box, and the score was 2-1 at the final whistle.

Unbeaten Toronto Croatia Seeks Top Spot

by

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.
