by

With only one position of the top four in the CSL standings decided – that of Toronto Croatia – the schedule for the quarterfinals rests on the outcome of the upcoming midweek clash between the academy teams of TFC and the Impact from Montreal.

 Drazen Vukovic scored three goals in the 4-0 SC Waterloo victory over St. Catharines Wolves at Worrier Field in the University of Waterloo, to put the striker into the lead position in the CSL goalscoring title race that ends October 10.

 

Croatia-born Vukovic, who previously played for Brantford Galaxy and for several clubs in Europe including HNK Hajduk Split, scored at 9, 72 and 80 minutes for 20 goals in this season’s campaign. Mohammad-Ali Heydarpour struck the other SC Waterloo goal at 59 minutes.

 

SC Waterloo has a 10-11-1 record for 34 points and ninth place in the standings to just miss the playoffs in their inaugural CSL season, while St. Catharines Wolves completed their schedule with a 1-16-5 record for 8 points.

 

 In the late game Sunday night, Toronto Croatia were held to a scoreless tie by York Region Shooters at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke, a game that was played largely in the midfield with few opportunities for either side to find the net.

 

Toronto Croatia completed their regular season on top with a 15-1-6 record for 51 points, while York Region Shooters complete the regular season with a 9-2-11 record for 38 points and are presently in fifth position in the standings.

BRANTFORD, KINGSTON, WATERLOO WIN SUNDAY…Toronto Croatia held to 1-1 tie

The Toronto Croatia 1-1 tie with SC Toronto lived up to its billing in a hard, well-played encounter at Centennial Stadium, a game that was scoreless until Marin Vucemilovic Grgic found the net at 80 minutes. He took a pass from forward Tihomir Maletic while closing in and it turned out to be a tap in for the go-ahead goal.


 


SC Toronto were reduced to 10 men at a crucial time of 87 minutes when Garard Ladiyou was cautioned for a second time to be shown the red card and sent off.


 


Despite the disadvantage, the visitors fought back and were rewarded with a tying goal by forward Alon Badat who scored at 93 minutes after receiving a cross from the left wing.

Vukovic added a second goal at 52 minutes for a 4-0 score, which held to the final whistle.


 


Midfielder Carlos Amorim opened the scoring for North York Astros at 37 minutes against Kingston FC at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York, the score at half-time.


 


Kingston forward Alex Campbell tied the game 1-1 at 52 minutes and Mademba Ba struck the winner from the penalty spot at 69 minutes following a pushing incident on Kingston’s Edgar Soglo inside the 18 yard line.


 


North York were reduced to 10 men when referee Scott Decker showed the red card to Davier Walcott at 72 minutes for serious foul play and the remainder of the game was scoreless to the final whistle, 2-1 in favour of Kingston FC.


 


A goal at 63 minutes by Brantford Galaxy midfielder Damion Scott was enough to earn his side three points in the game against Windsor Stars at Lions Park. Scott took a pass from Marco Machado to drive the ball from 20 yards into the bottom left corner past Windsor goalkeeper Anthony Santilli.


The goal broke open a game with few chances throughout, with Santilli and Galaxy’s Melford James Jr. both playing a solid game.

SC WATERLOO ENDS UNBEATEN RUN OF CURRENT CSL CHAMPS TORONTO CROATIA

by

A goal at 20 minutes of the first half by expansion club SC Waterloo put to an end the season-long unbeaten run of the current CSL champions Toronto Croatia, while two other games in the CSL Sunday ended in ties, a 4-4 score between York Region Shooters and Brampton City Utd and a 2-2 tie in the game between Montreal Impact Academy and Mississauga Eagles FC.

 

It was a left foot drive by Waterloo midfielder Drazen Vukovic that ended the Toronto Croatia streak at the Seagram Stadium in Waterloo and it ended the record of the last CSL First Division team to hold the distinction of being unbeaten during the current campaign. For the Waterloo Region side, the victory helped to make amends for the 6-1 loss in the hands of Toronto Croatia on May 27.

 

Toronto Croatia still hold to top position in the standings despite Sunday’s defeat, they have a 6-1-2 WLT  record for 20 points, while SC Waterloo improve to a 4-6-0, good for 12 points

 

Forward Alexander King put Montreal Impact Academy in front 1-0 at 39 minutes against Mississauga Eagles at the St Jean De Vianney ground in Montreal after taking a cross from Wandrille Lefevre. The home side went ahead 2-0 when Impact first team defender Calum Mallace playing his first game for the academy side, headed in out of reach of Mississauga goalkeeper Kofi Oppong. It was 2-0 at half-time.

 

A win for the academy team looked secure until Jose Melo headed in for Mississauga Eagles at the 87th minute mark and Thomas McLean scored the equalizer at 91 minutes for the 2-2 final score.

 

It was a ding-dong struggle between York Region Shooters and Brampton City Utd at the Joan of Arc ground in Maple where the visitors gained then lost the lead throughout the game, beginning with a goal at 23 minutes when forward Milos Scepanovic beat York Region goalkeeper Camilo Benzi for a 1-0 score. Alex Braletic made it 2-0 for Brampton at 37 minutes, but the lead was cancelled out by goals from York Region forward Jason De Thomasis at 38 minutes, then Alex Trujillo at 44 minutes for a 2-2 tie before York Region’s Andre Rollins put the home side ahead 3-2 at the break.

 

Scepanovic scored his second goal and Brampton’s third to tie the game 3-3 at 85 minutes, then Brampton edged into the lead 4-3 on a goal by David Velastagui three minutes later.  Andre Manders of York Region levelled the scores 4-4 shortly before the final whistle.

 

York Region Shooters played the last 28 minutes short handed after referee Justin Tasev showed the red card to Andre Stewart for violent conduct.

 

It is York Region Shooters sixth draw in 10 games, they now have a 3-1-6 record for 15 points, while Brampton City Utd have a 4-2-3 record, also 15 points.
