A second half goal by TFC Academy striker Junior Ellis was enough to give his side a 1-0 victory over North York Astros and Italia Shooters defeated Trois-Rivieres Attak by the same score, the only two games played in the Canadian Soccer League late Sunday afternoon. There were three games on Friday night with Serbian White Eagles, Toronto Croatia and St. Catharines Wolves all scoring early season victories.
Ellis picked up the ball just outside the penalty box to side-step a North York defender before beating Astros’ goalkeeper Arthur Zaslavski at the 53rd minute mark at Esther Shiner Stadium, and Zaslavski was one of two North York Astros players ejected later in the game.
Forward Martin Artale was the first to go following a kicking incident at 77 minutes and Zaslavski was ordered off at 86 minutes when he brought down a TFC Academy player outside the 18 yard line.
With the Astros reduced to 9 men, there was little opportunity for the home side to draw level and the game ended 1-0.
