August 24, 2013 CSL--details of Saturday's game (from CSL website)

  
TORONTO CROATIA VICTORY .....Keran scores late winner

It was almost the last kick of the match when Toronto Croatia defender Josip Keran 
took a free kick against Niagara United from 25 yards, the Niagara United wall did 
its job, but the rebound came back to Keran who then drove the ball into the net 
for the winning goal, a 2-1 victory in the only game played in the CSL Saturday night.

Toronto Croatia opened the scoring in the close contest at the Kalar Sports Park 
in Niagara Falls when Sven Arapovic headed in a corner kick at the 31st minute mark 
for a 1-0 lead at the break.

Arapovic, a defender, was on the receiving end of a red card from referee Jeff Fearnall 
at 55 minutes when he prevented a goalscoring opportunity by bringing down Niagara’s 
Andy Tiedt in the box. Tiedt took the penalty and found the net past Toronto Croatia 
goalkeeper Sergio Moralo for a 1-1 score.

Niagara was also reduced to 10 men when John Grabowski received a second caution 
at 66 minutes and the game went to 93 minutes and almost a tie until Keran found 
the net with just seconds remaining, a 2-1 score in favour of the visitors. It was 
Keran’s sixth goal of the season.

Toronto Croatia now have a 10-2-4 WLT record for 34 points, which is tied with Kingston FC 
for top position in the standings, and Niagara United are at 2-11-3 for nine points.

In one Second Division match played Saturday, Toronto Croatia B defeated Niagara United B 5-2, 
and there was one postponement when the Serbian White Eagles vs Kingston FC was rescheduled
