Toronto Croatia nudged a little closer to the top with a 2-0 defeat of London City at the Hellenic Centre in London, the only game in the CSL Friday night.
Played in torrential rain most of the first half, the defending CSL champions attacked early and scored after 10 minutes on a goal by forward Kresimir Prgomet who took a pass from Tihomir Maletic to find the net from five yards. It was Prgomet’s eighth goal of the season and the first half ended 1-0.
London pressed for an equalizer in the second half, but the score stood until the 90th minute when Augustin De Medina made it 2-0 for the visitors. De Medina drove the ball from 25 yards to beat London goalkeeper Vladimir Markotic, the ball entering the bottom left corner of the net.
The win moved Toronto Croatia into third place with an 8-2-3 WLT record for 27 points, a point behind leaders Kingston FC and York Region Shooters. London City now have a 5-6-3 record for 18 points.
A second game scheduled for Friday night, Serbian White Eagles vs. SC Waterloo, was postponed on Thursday due to the condition of the playing surface at Centennial Stadium damaged by flooding on July 8. The game is expected to be played sometime in September.
