by

Two first half goals by midfielder Cristian Dragoi moved Windsor Stars to their first win of the new season, opening their account with a 4-1 defeat of Astros Vasas FC at Windsor Stadium, the only game in the Canadian Soccer League First Division Saturday.

Dragoi opened the scoring for the home side at 22 minutes with a hard low drive that beat Astros Vasas goalkeeper Erno Bostyan and Windsor hit again with two goals in quick succession. The first by David Kadoic – he headed into the net at 25 minutes – and immediately after the re-start Drogoi struck his second of the night to make it 3-0 at the
interval.

Astros Vasas reduced the lead in the second half when Jose Melo scored on a penalty after referee Hassane Rifai pointed to the spot when a visitors’ forward was brought down inside the 18 yard line, the goal coming at the 58th minute mark and it was 3-1 in favour of Windsor.

Windsor Stars increased the lead to 4-1 on a goal by Adam Philp who drove the ball into the net at the 87th minute mark and the score held to the final whistle.

MONTREAL IMPACT ACADEMY SECURE PLAYOFF SPOT WITH 2-1 VICTORY WHILE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS GALAXY GO DOWN IN WINDSOR

by

Current CSL champions Brantford Galaxy received a surprise set-back in their bid for a playoff berth, losing 4-1 in the hands of Windsor Stars at Windsor Stadium Saturday night, while in a game played earlier in the day, Montreal Impact Academy gained an important 2-1 win over Mississauga Eagles FC at the Saputo Stadium in Montreal.


 


Forward Aaron Byrd opened the scoring for Windsor Stars at the 13th minute and increased the lead to 2-0 at the 35th minute mark.


 


Midfielder Nenad Begovic reduced the lead to 2-1 with a goal for the Galaxy at the 54 minutes, but that was short-lived when one minute later at 55 minutes David Kadoic increased the home lead to 3-1, scoring on a breakaway.  Kadoic again beat Brantford goalkeeper Vladimir Markotic at 71 minutes when he found the net with a drive from 20 yards for a 4-1 score which remained to the final whistle.


 


Montreal Impact took the lead on a goal by Kevin Luarca at the 41st minute mark, a 1-0 score in favour of the home side at the interval.


 


Mississauga forward Darragh Roe put the ball past Montreal goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau to equalize at 61 minutes and Chris-Michel Rumuri struck the winner for the Quebec side at the 63rd minute mark and the score remained to the final whistle.


 


The win clinches a playoff berth for Montreal Impact Academy, now involved in a three-way tie for fourth place in the standings. They join SC Toronto, Toronto Croatia, Capital City FC, York Region Shooters and Serbian White Eagles, with two spots still to be decided.


 


 With two games remaining in their regular season schedule (against Montreal Impact Academy and Capital City FC), Saturday’s defeat puts the defending CSL champions Brantford Galaxy in a difficult position to secure one of those two remaining berths. The remaining two positions are being pursued also by Mississauga Eagles FC, Brampton City Utd and TFC Academy.


 


Eight teams will enter into a home and away quarterfinals series, to get underway during October. There will be one game in each of the two semifinals and one game for the CSL Championship Final.

With just two games remaining in the regular season, Capital City FC  have a 14-4-6 WLT record for 48 points.

MISSISSAUGA EAGLES HELD TO 1-1 TIE AT HOME TO WINDSOR STARS SATURDAY

by

Mississauga Eagles FC were held to a 1-1 tie by Windsor Stars at the Hershey Centre Saturday night, a disappointing result for the home side bidding to capture a spot in the Canadian Soccer League playoffs to begin early October.


 


It was the only game in the CSL First Division Saturday and midfielder David Kadoic  opened the scoring for the visitors at the 15 minute mark, he beat Mississauga goalkeeper Melford James Jr from just inside the 6-yard line for the 1-0 lead.


 


It was a hard fought contest through to the end of the first half which ended 1-0 and into the second half when eventually at 78 minutes Mohammed Habibzi struck for Mississauga off a corner kick into the top corner on the short side, beating goalkeeper Anthony Santilli.


 


With the game still in the balance, the Eagles lost midfielder Ivan Juric when he was given a second caution and red card by referee Richard Oliveira at 84 minutes. The game ended 1-1 and Mississauga Eagles improve to a 9-8-2 WLT record for 29 points with an opportunity to secure a playoff berth, while Windsor Stars have an up hill climb to make  the playoffs with just 11 points from 17 games

by

Montreal Impact Academy picked up three points with an important 3-1 win over North York Astros, while SC Toronto and Capital City FC battled to a scoreless tie and in one other game played in the CSL Saturday, the Windsor Stars vs. Serbian White Eagles game was abandoned at 39 minutes due to lightning and the game will be replayed.


 


Serge Dinkota opened the scoring for Montreal Impact Academy at the 23rd minute mark at Esther Shiner Stadium, but North York forward Nordo Gooden tied the score 1-1 six minutes later and it was 1-1 at half-time.


 


Montreal’s Alessandro Riggi put the Quebec side 2-1 up at 54 minutes and the game was in doubt until Riggi struck again at 92 minutes for a 3-1 score, the result at the final whistle.

Montreal defender Amine Meftouh was shown the red card at 83 minutes by referee Archie Korbiel for ‘Denying an Obvious Goalscoring Opportunity’.


 


Montreal move into second position in the standings with 35 points following their victory, the 10th win of the current league campaign.

CAPITAL CITY FC ON UNBEATEN STREAK WHILE MONTREAL ACADEMY DOWN YORK REGION SHOOTERS 3-1 SATURDAY.. Windsor battle London City to scoreless tie

by

Capital City FC are on a 4-game unbeaten streak with the  4-1 defeat of TFC Academy at the Terry Fox Facility in Ottawa Saturday and in two other games Montreal Impact Academy, playing with 10 men most of the second half scored a 3-1 victory over York Region Shooters. In a southwestern Ontario clash,  London City visited Windsor to hold the Stars to a scoreless tie before a good crowd at Windsor Stadium.

 

 Capital City FC forward Sullivan Silva opened the scoring for the home side when he found the net past TFC goalkeeper Angelo Cavalluzzo at the 18th minute mark.

 

TFC striker Stefan Vukovic tied the game 1-1, scoring from the penalty spot after he was brought down in the box at 24 minutes, but Akil DeFreitas of Capital City put his side up 2-1 just four minutes later.

 

The Ottawa side’s William Beauge made it 3-1 just before the interval and there was one goal in the second half when Casey Condray headed home after the ball came off the crossbar – it all came from a corner kick at 58 minutes – the final score 4-1.

 

The eastern Ontario team now has a 5-1-1 WLT record for 16 points and will be bidding for the top position when they meet  York Region Shooters in Ottawa Sunday.

 

Forward Victor Ndiaye opened the scoring at the 17th minute mark for Montreal Impact Academy in the game with York Region Shooters at the Marie Victorin Stadium in Montreal and Des Humphrey equalized for the visitors at 42 minutes, a 1-1 tie at the interval.

 

Academy defender Kai Morton was ejected from the game on receiving a second caution at 58 minutes, but the 10-men home side continued to press, resulting in a goal at 69 minutes by midfielder Alessandro Riggi, a 2-1 lead for Montreal.

 

York Region Shooters lost midfielder Nicolas Martinez when he was shown a red card at 90 minutes and Riggi struck his second goal to make it 3-1 for Montreal Impact Academy in the closing minutes, the final score in favour of the Quebec side.

 

Windsor Stars and London City played to a scoreless, but well-played and well attended encounter at Windsor Stadium in the late game Saturday.

 

It was an even contest throughout with both teams missing chances to take the lead – Windsor forward Robbie Malbasic headed just wide in the first half and midfielder Christian Mayorga also came close. Thomas Beattie had a near miss which almost put London ahead mid-way through the second half, but his snap drive on the turn in the box was saved by Windsor ‘keeper Anthony Santilli.

GALAXY EARN OVERDUE VICTORY, MISSISSAUGA EAGLES WIN DING-DONG STRUGGLE AT COVE ROAD, SERBIAN EAGLES TIE WITH WINDSOR

by


Brantford Galaxy nipped TFC Academy 1-0, Mississauga Eagles FC pulled away in an action-packed second half to defeat London City 4-2 and Serbian White Eagles were held to a 1-1 result at home by Windsor Stars, three games in the Canadian Soccer League Friday night.


 


Brantford Galaxy and TFC Academy both went into Lamport Stadium searching for a win and a goal at nine minutes by forward Ranko Golijanin was enough to earn the visitors their first victory since May 22.


 


TFC lost the ball in their own half and it ended up with Golijinin who drove the ball into the corner of the net past Academy ‘keeper Angelo Cavalluzzo.


 


The Galaxy held the lead throughout the second half despite losing defender Stanko Karacic just before the interval when he was shown the red card by referee Hassan Rafai for a two-footed challenge, judged to be Serious Foul Play on TFC defender Dakar Charles.


 


Serbian White Eagles appeared to have an edge in their game with Windsor Stars at Centennial Stadium, but it was the border team that took a first half 1-0 lead by midfielder Danny Dragoi who found the net from seven yards following a breakaway.


 


The home side tied the game 1-1 at the 42nd minute mark when midfielder Milos Scepanovic and forward Sasa Viciknez combined to beat Windsor goalkeeper Anthony Santilli. It was Viciknez who found the net for 1-1  at half-time and that was the final score despite numerous opportunities for Serbian White Eagles to take the lead — particularly by captain Alex Braletic.


 


There were plenty of goals at Cove Road in London where the City had to draw on their substitute goalkeeper following an injury to number one, Fabian Knezevic. He was carried off following a collision early in the second half and taken to the local hospital.


 


The injury came with the score 1-1 on goals by Eagles’ Shawn Brown at 14 minutes followed by a tying goal from London forward Mike Marcoccia four minutes later. London’s Thomas Beattie struck the crossbar late in the first half, there were no further goals and it was 1-1 at the break.


 


Scott Chalmers, an 18 year old ‘keeper from the University of Western Ontario took over in goal for London City and conceded a goal at 58 minutes when Mississauga forward Jose Melo struck to make it 2-1. This was followed by a goal five minutes later when the visitors went ahead 3-1, scored by defender Tristan Scott.


 


London reduced the lead to 3-2 when Gentian Buzali scored at 69 minutes, but almost immediately at 70 minutes Mississauga Eagles’ midfielder Gala Gabriel Gala scored his team’s fourth goal for a 4-2 final score.

MONTREAL ACADEMY SPLIT WEEK-END WITH VICTORY AT WINDSOR – Pro soccer returns to Windsor Stadium

by

Montreal Impact Academy split their two-game
weekend with a 2-0 victory over Windsor Stars at Windsor Stadium, the season
opener for the border city and the only game played in the CSL Saturday night.

The academy team were defeated 3-1 by TFC

It was a close encounter throughout with the
visitors having a slight edge against a team looking tentative in their play before
a home crowd witnessing professional soccer returning to that part of
southwestern Ontario for the first time following the period 2004 to 2008 when
the city was represented by Windsor Border Stars.

The Quebec team took a 1-0 lead at 32 minutes
when Yacinthe Michelog struck a low shot to beat Stars’ goalkeeper Anthony
Santili from the edge of the penalty box.

Windsor played with more confidence in the
second half and pressed for an equalizer, but it was Montreal Impact Academy
that found the net when at 92 minutes they were awarded a penalty. Defender
Filip Rocca brought down a Montreal defender and referee John Oliva had no
hesitation in pointing to the spot. Felix Cardin scored to make it 2-0 and the
score held to the final whistle.

Montreal Impact Academy’s next game is
against SC Toronto at Lamport Stadium Friday, May 13, while Windsor Stars will
host Brampton City Utd at Windsor Stadium next Saturday, May 14.

There are two games remaining this weekend when
Serbian White Eagles visit Maple for the York Region Shooters opener at 6 pm
and  two hours later TFC Academy are at
home to Mississauga Eagles at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke.
