FC Ukraine United struck two second half goals to defeat Scarborough SC 2-0 at Centennial Stadium in the only CSL First Division game played Sunday.
It was a well-played first half with good pace between two evenly matched teams and not until the 60th minute was the scoreless deadlock broken with a well taken goal by Bohdan Skotskyi. The defender took a pass from Ihor Sorotoskyi to take a strong rising shot from 20 yards across the goalmouth and inside the far post.
Scarborough raided the Ukraine goal in an effort to level the score and the best scoring opportunity came at 66 minutes when forward Kiril Dimitrov was brought down outside the box and the free kick by Dimitrov went inches wide of the left post.
Ukraine went further ahead 2-0 at the 80th minute when midfielder Taras Kryvyy moved the ball forward to Nazar Milishchuk outside the box and his ground shot beat the oncoming Scarborough goalkeeper John Trye to enter the net while the visitors’ defenders appealed for an offside call.
It was FC Ukraine’s third win in as many games to maintain a 100 percent early season record, while Scarborough suffered its first defeat of the season.
