October 7, 2011 CSL--details of Friday's game (from CSL website)

  
TORONTO CROATIA IN STRONG POSITION EARLY..Friday victory in opening game of CSL playoffs 

Two second half goals by prolific striker Tihomir Maletic assured Toronto Croatia of a decisive 4-0 victory over Mississauga Eagles FC in the 
opening quarterfinals game of  CSL playoffs at The Hershey Centre Friday.

It was Croatia midfielder Tonci Pirija who opened the scoring at 20 minutes when he beat Mississauga goalkeeper Melford James Jr and Marin Grgic 
added a second at 36 minutes for a 2-0 score at halftime.

Toronto Croatia pressed again in the second half and Maletic scored his first at 53 minutes and struck his team’s fourth goal at 90 minutes for 
a 4-0 final. Maletic scored 17 goals for Toronto Croatia in regular season play.

Mississauga lost defender Shaun MacDonald when he was shown a red card by referee Justin Tasev at the 85th minute mark for Serious Foul Play. He will 
miss the second leg quarterfinal.

The 4-0 win puts Toronto Croatia in a strong position in the home and away two-leg quarterfinals series which takes into account total points over 
the two games and if tied on points at the end of 90  minutes of the second game, total goals over the two games will decide.

The two teams move to Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke on Sunday, October 16, a 7 pm kickoff,  for the second leg of the quarterfinals series and the 
winner will advance to the semifinals, scheduled for the weekend of October 21. The CSL Championship Final will be played the last weekend of October.
