SERBIAN WHITE EAGLES TRIUMPH 6-2 FRIDAY

Serbian White Eagles moved up to fourth in the standings with a decisive 6-2 victory over CSC Mississauga, the only match in the CSL First Division Friday.

It was a hard fought encounter from the opening whistle at Iceland Field in Mississauga, with visiting Serbian White Eagles, the CSL champions as recent as 2016 and a long history that included the National Soccer League title in 1974, against CSC Mississauga entering professional soccer as a CSL expansion team this year and attempting to open its account with a first win of the season.

It was the home side that came close first when at 20 minutes Mississauga’s Samyr Remi Oshin drive was saved by Serbian Eagles goalkeeper Nemanja Radenkovic, but the visitors took the lead four minutes later, a goal by Dusan Kovacevic, a thumping header that beat Mississauga goalkeeper Faris Efendic and it was 1-0 at the break.

Serbian White Eagles went up 2-0 at 48 minutes, a goal by defender Branislav Vukomanovic who broke down the left wing to shoot low and hard past the outstretched Efendic and midfielder Djorjije Strunjas increased the lead to 3-0 at 55 minutes, heading into the corner of the net.

Mississauga’s Oshin reduced the lead with a goal at 67 minutes, but a quick reply by Seungkwon Baik two minutes later gave Serbian White Eagles a 4-1 lead. Seungkwon added a second goal at 79 minutes for a commanding 5-1 Serbian Eagles advantage.

A high shot from 30 yards by Mississauga midfielder Danijel Ivanus dipped just under the bar for a 5-2 score at 86 minutes and Serbian Eagles responded with a goal at 90 minutes by Dusan Kovacevic, his second of the game for a 6-2 score at the final whistle.

Serbian White Eagles improve to 3-1-3 WLT FOR 12 points to move back to fourth position in the standings, while CSC Mississauga are at 0-6-2 for two points in eighth position.
