SC Waterloo were impressive with an away 4-0 victory over Brampton City Utd in the fourth quarterfinal game of the CSL Championship playoffs, a well-attended encounter at the Terry Fox Stadium in Chinguacousy and the only game played in the Canadian Soccer League Thanksgiving Day.
It was a decisive win for the visitors with two goals in each half, midfielder Harris Fazlagic scoring the opening goal at the 30th minute mark and this was followed at 44 minutes by a goal from Adis Hasecic who barely reached a cross by Ranko Golijanin to slide the ball into the net for a 2-0 score at the break.
Brampton goalkeeper Camilo Benzi was cautioned twice in the second half to be shown the red card by referee Arbaji at 80 minutes and Euloge Awitor-Kodzo took over in goal for the home side.
Drazen Vukovic was prominent in the Waterloo attack and scored from a breakaway for a 3-0 lead at 88 minutes and defender Zoran Kukic rounded out the scoring at 94 minutes for a 4-0 result.
SC Waterloo advance to the semifinals to meet CSL defending champions Toronto Croatia, while in the second semifinal game Kingston FC will be at home to London City.
