September 18, 2010 CSL--York Region Shooters vs Montreal Impact Academy (from CSL website)

SHOOTERS BACK IN THE HUNT WITH 4-2 VICTORY.....late goals beat Montreal Academy
2010-09-18

York Region Shooters came back from a 2-1 deficit half way through the second half to score three late goals to defeat the visiting Montreal Impact Academy 4-2 at the Joan of Arc ground at Maple, just north of Toronto, the only game in the CSL on Saturday.

The game was an important one for the Shooters after slipping from the top position in the standings down to fifth in recent weeks and facing Montreal Impact Academy, a team looking for a playoff berth and coming off a game they expected to win but came away from London City with just a 2-2 tie the previous night.

Following a hard-fought 45 minutes York Region took the lead almost on half-time on a goal by defender Alex Trujillo who found the net past Montreal goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau.

Mircea Ilcu tied the game 1-1 at 65 minutes for the academy team and four minutes later Ilcu scored from the penalty spot to make it 2-1 for the Quebec team following a hand ball inside the box.

Shooters' midfielder Darryl Gomez tied the game 2-2 at 79 minutes and forward Luke Stedmond slammed the ball into the net from a goalmouth scramble at 82 minutes to put York Region Shooters in the lead. Following another hand ball offence, this time by the visitors, Gomez was called upon to take the penalty and scored from the spot to give the home side a 4-2 win.

York Region Shooters improve to a 10-4-6 WLT record for 36 points and move up the table to now be tied for second place with 36 points, while Montreal Impact Academy are tied for 7th position with 23 points from a 7-10-6 record.

There are three games in the CSL Sunday, with the Astros at Esther Shiner Stadium at home to Portugal FC, that's at 3.45 pm, Brampton Lions visit the Bishop Reding ground in Milton for a game with the high flying Milltown FC, that's at 4 pm and Brantford Galaxy host Toronto Croatia at Lions Park in Brantford, that's an evening game at 7 pm.
