It took Toronto Croatia just 24 hours to regain the top position in the Eastern Conference standings of the Canadian Professional Soccer League following a crowd-pleaser, but decisive encounter at Windsor Stadium Saturday, which finished 3-0 in favour of the visitors.
Toronto Croatia were dislodged from the top position by Vaughan Shootes on Friday night, a 2-0 result over North York Astros that put the City above Toronto team temperorily on top.
Croatia went ahead after just 2 minutes when defender Antonijo Zupan put the ball past Anthony Santilli in the Border Stars' net and Hayden Fitzwilliams made it 2-0 for Croatia at the 42nd minute mark. Following a 2-0 score at half-time, Andrija Botica scored Croatia's third for a 3-0 score at 67 minutes, and this turned out to be the final score.
Border Stars' midfielder Marcus Chorvat was shown a second yellow card by referee Vito Curalli at the 80th minute mark,for the only ejection in the game
Toronto Croatia have lost just one game in 11 with a 7-1-3 WLT record for 24 points, good enough to lead the Eastern Conference by three points over Vaughan Shooters.
