Toronto Supra shut out London
City
By Free Press staff
The Toronto Supra all but clinched
third place in the Canadian Professional Soccer League standings yesterday with
a 4-0 home win over London City.
Garvin Houston, Rafael Wrobel, Ryan Gamble
and Peyvand Mossavat scored for the Supra (11-4-5). City fell to 2-15-3 with its
seventh straight loss and saw its winless streak reach 10 games in league and Oz
Optic Cup play (0-9-1).
Houston opened the scoring in the 11th minute,
eluding his marker to score on a looping header to the far post. On the stroke
of halftime, Gamble headed a ball to Wrobel, who scored from 10 yards out.
Gamble made it 3-0 in the 55th minute. He collided with two City defenders
but the ball fell perfectly for him and he left City goalie Mark Fernandes no
chance.
Mossavat connected in the 85th minute on a header that went in off
the post and crossbar junction.
"It could have been an easy 0-0," said City
general manager Harry Gauss. "Considering the lineup we had today, I was really
satisfied with the play in general. It was just mistakes that beat us."
City
plays the North York Astros in Toronto Friday at 8:30 p.m. before finishing the
season at home Sunday at Cove Road Field at 3 p.m. against the York Region
Shooters.
