FT Portugal FC 1-1 Brampton Stallions

Italia Shooters, North York Astros and Serbian White Eagles gained significant victories on the eve of a two-week break at the mid point of the schedule, while Portugal FC and Brampton Lions fought to a 1-1 tie in the fourth game of a busy Friday night in the Canadian Soccer League. Italia defeated Toronto Croatia in a 4-3 thriller at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, a game that put the Croatian team 3-2 ahead at 90 minutes, only to go down in added time when the York Region team grabbed two late goals and three points to firm up their top position in the International Division.

Serbian White Eagles moved ahead of Toronto Croatia in the International Division standings as a result of their come from behind 2-1 victory over TFC Academy at Centennial Stadium in Toronto’s west end.
