It took just forty-five minutes for the league’s top striker to show why he is League1’s most 
dangerous player with the ball at his feet in front of net.

Toronto FC Academy’s Molham Babouli didn’t enter Sunday’s match at Kia Training Ground until 
the start of the second half, with the score just 1-0 for his side over ANB Futbol. But when 
it was over, he’d scored three very impressive goals and the final was 6-1 for his club.

Babouli, who now has an impressive twenty-one goals to put him well in front of all others 
in the inaugural season of League1 Ontario competition, scored once from open play, blasted 
another rocket from the penalty spot, and ripped a third unstoppable shot from a free kick. 
He was a force that couldn’t be reckoned with by an ANB squad that didn’t know what hit 
them in the second half.

For Babouli it was all in a day’s work.

“It feels good to excel, it always feel good, definitely,” said Babouli, of his ability 
to find the net.

He said he doesn’t particularly work on his free kicks or penalty shots, but felt like the 
right player in the right spot on Sunday.

“Whoever’s feeling confident, just steps up and takes it and hopefully it goes in,” he said.

Sunday’s victory gave TFC Academy a five-point cushion over second-place Vaughan Azzurri, 
with the leaders now on thirty-first points after thirteen games played. Vaughan has also 
played thirteen games. Sigma are a point behind Vaughan with thirteen games played, while 
Woodbridge are in fourth on twenty-two points, having played only eleven games.

Babouli said, “we should have the confidence to win (the league).”

Aidan Daniels scored a pair of wonderful goals for the Academy, one in each half to add 
to Babouli’s hattrick, while Stefan Vukovic on a chip of keeper Ali Ghazanfari, who had 
little chance on any of the goals, scored the other TFC tally.

Belrum Vartanian had the lone ANB marker from the penalty spot, but the score was 5-0 
for the home side at that point in the contest.

Michael Calder was sent off for ANB in the eightieth minute, after he was yellow-carded 
for pushing a TFC player, then argued with the ref and was red-carded dropping his team 
to ten men.

ANB sits seventh of nine teams with twelve points, four behind Masters FA Saints. ANB has 
four games left. They face Durham FC United in their next match, Friday at Kinsmen Park 
in Pickering at 8 p.m.

The next contest for Toronto FC Academy in a very busy week is a makeup game with 
Woodbridge Strikers on Wednesday evening at Vaughan Grove Park at 7 p.m.
