The Serbian White Eagles are the new champions of the Canadian Soccer League!\u00a0Today in the final they beat Hamilton City 2:1 after extra time.\u00a0In the regular course of the game, the result was 1:1 (0:1).\u00a0The Eagles thus repeated the success of 2008 when they won the cup for the first time.\u00a0A great success and a real feat of our community team after they were fourth at the end of the regular part of the championship and were not among the teams that you gave chances for the final triumph.\u00a0Our team played exceptionally in the end and with two 1:0 victories in the quarter-final and semi-final, and an impressive game in the second half and overtime today in the final, fully deservedly won the trophy and the title of champion for this year.\u00a0Fantastic and unexpected!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, our team had more support from the stands, the good old “Ultra Serbs” also came, their leaders, a group of Eagles fans that once had around 300-400 fans, waving big Serbian tricolors.<\/p>\n\n\n

First half<\/strong>
The first half was played in the middle of the field, the Eagles had more of the ball and possession, but they created only one half chance.\u00a0Hamilton City did a good job obstructing our game, they won 50\/50 balls, if they didn’t succeed, they made frequent fouls, but far from the shooting zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17 minute-After a half-foul, a free kick is scored from the left side for Hamilton City, 20 meters from our goal, Zubac shoots, the ball hits our living wall, changes direction and goes to the left side of our goal, opposite to where \u0160kari\u0107 went and with a lot lucky 0:1.
44 minute-Vela\u0161evi\u0107 passes nicely through the middle, a good pass for \u0160\u0107epanovi\u0107, but the goalkeeper was a little faster.
Inconsequential first half, fair and manly game with a lot of chopping and fouls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second half<\/strong>
Second half, completely different story.\u00a0The Eagles spread out on the field, they win every duel, they go to win one on one, the ball goes quickly and simply, they think about the quickest and easiest way to reach the opponent’s goal, chance after chance are lined up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

46th minute-Good shot by Vela\u0161evi\u0107, almost wide of the goal
48th minute-After a corner, Boji\u0107 from an ideal situation does not catch the ball well with his head
52nd minute-Kamberovi\u0107, who is in an extremely good mood today, receives the ball on the right wing, passes and goes diagonally in front of the goalkeeper, shoots closer to the crossbar and almost over the goal.
59th minute-Our players spread out, the goalkeeper receives the ball from a teammate from the defense, prepares to shoot the ball far into the field, Koji\u0107 sprints, enters his shot, the ball hits him in the back and happily ends up in the goal, fully deserved 1:1.
61st minute- Vukomanovi\u0107 receives the ball from an angle 20 meters from the goal, sharp shot and the ball hits the crossbar
73rd minute- Joci\u0107 passes beautifully, and makes a great shot from 14 meters, the goalkeeper makes an excellent save. Especially today their best player Grbes, simply uncatchable, and ours often the only way to stop him is to make a foul.\u00a0Fortunately, the Eagles are good in defense led by the infallible Jelic.\u00a0A small and smart respite for the Eagles before the end.
80th minute – \u0160\u0107epanovi\u0107 perfectly lays the ball for Kamberovi\u0107 18 meters from the goal, a good shot ends just over the crossbar.
After extra time, the Eagles continue in the same rhythm, they are going to win, they are going to simply be better.
91st minute-Already after 30 seconds of the game, Kamberovi\u0107 shoots from about twenty meters, the ball brushes someone from the opponent’s defense, \u0160\u0107epanovi\u0107 is in a rush, sweeps past the goalkeeper and sends the ball into the net for 2:1 and a big celebration 95th minute.
How good of a player Grbes is shows when he hit the upper part of the crossbar from a free kick diagonally from 40 meters
102nd minute-Jovanovi\u0107, who brought a lot of speed and freshness to our attack with his entry, passes nicely on the right wing, looks and ideally sends the ball to Kamberovi\u0107 at 14 meters, a great shot follows and unfortunately the crossbar once again saved the opponent’s goalkeeper
108th minute Joci\u0107 throws \u0160\u0107epanovi\u0107 out again lucidly, but the goalkeeper is faster by a fraction of a second
110th minute-100 percent chance, Jovanovi\u0107 ideally received a deep ball, he went completely alone towards the goalkeeper, paused a bit, turned the opposing player who caught up with him, shoots and the goalkeeper makes a fantastic save
112th minute – probably the only mistake of our defense today.\u00a0Grbesa from the center from the break sends a strong ideal ball in front of our goal, Jurcevic runs and jumps the highest, luckily his header hits the post
120th minute – Once again \u0160\u0107epanovi\u0107 receives the ball beautifully, turns and shoots from about ten meters away, the goalkeeper saves the opponent once again and for the last time today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the extra time, nothing happened, our players skillfully defended themselves and saved the ball for the start of the big celebration in the middle of the field.\u00a0Everyone ran in, both fans and management and former players, our Serbian tricolors were brought in, an indescribable and unforgettable celebration.\u00a0And the cup was received by captain Milo\u0161 \u0160\u0107epanovi\u0107, the only player who lifted that cup in 2008, well done Milo\u0161!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great success of the Serbian White Eagles after several crisis and difficult years.\u00a0Once again, the Eagles confirmed the reputation and renown they have in Canadian football, the hard work and investments of several enthusiasts, led by president Dragan Bako\u010d, paid off, once again the Eagles brightened the image of our community in Canada.\u00a0It is also an invitation to all our people to strengthen and help our team even more, the best football team of our diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
