Our Serbian White Eagles were defeated 1-0 by Scarborough in the CSL Championship Final at Esther Shiner Stadium Sunday evening.
While the match was again a physical encounter and ended with just one goal deciding the winner, it was also one of the most attractive of the season.
It was end-to-end in the early stages until Scarborough midfielder Andy Baquero opened the scoring, forcing the ball from a corner kick into the net from the six-yard line and out of reach of Serbian White Eagles goalkeeper Daniel Gosciniak. The goal came at 36 minutes.
With Scarborough leading 1-0 at the interval, Serbian White Eagles coach Bojan Zoranovic brought substitute former Canadian national team defender Adrian Cann into the game. The second half brought several near misses by the White Eagles, but Scarborough goalkeeper Jose Rodolfo was outstanding and the Toronto east side team held to the final whistle for the victory.
