Vaughan Azzurri followed up on last weekend's L1 Cup championship win 
to beat Windsor 2-0 and go top of the League1 Ontario west division. 

Jahsua Mills (5') scored early, with Ryan Telfer (67') adding one 
late for Vaughan, while the clean sheet went to Andrew D'Souza.

"I think we were a little worse for wear, but we did what we had 
to do to win today," said Vaughan head coach, Carmine Isacco. 
"It wasn't pleasant, but we managed to tempo the game and I thought 
it's a good win, it's a good three points for us. It's not easy here."

Despite arriving late due to traffic issues, Vaughan got off the bus 
and started brightly. Isacco lamented missed chances that could 
have put the match away early. 

"I thought we should have put the game away in the first half," 
he said. "We created what I thought were two 100 per cent goals, 
but Windsor's Kyle [Vizarakis] is a good keeper."

"We went on and we kept our defensive shape, did what we had 
to do defensively, and I think it's a fair result. I thought 
we dealt with the tempo well, but I thought we should have been 
a little more comfortable in the result. It's good to get out 
of here with three points."

Both teams had new personnel involved, as a number 
of mainstays from the season have departed for their College 
and University programs. 

"I think that this was a fairly even match, with two teams 
that were depleted somewhat because of the change in personnel 
that happens at this time of year, but regardless it was 
a good contest, good game, well-played soccer," said Windsor 
technical director, Vancho Cirovski. 

"They finished on their two chances, while we got in the 
box but we didn't play to score. We've got to work on that 
part of the game. We've got to remain patient near the box 
and get really good shots, test the keeper - I don't think 
the keeper was tested." 

After 14 matches, Vaughan (33) is now two points ahead 
of Woodbridge Strikers (31) at the top of the table. 
Both teams are on equal number of matches played. 

Vaughan plays a red-hot Toronto FC Academy 
on Aug 14 (2 p.m.) at McNaughton Turf, Vaughan.

After 15 matches, Windsor is now fourth in the east division 
on 22 points, but must watch their back as North Mississauga 
sits in fifth position on 19 points, and has two matches 
in hand on Windsor. 

Windsor faces a tough match on Aug 7 (4 p.m.) against 
Sigma FC at Hershey Centre, Mississauga. 

"We'll look a little younger as we finish out the season, 
but that's really what the program is all about - giving 
younger players a chance to play," said Cirovski. 

"I think today was an unusual day with events and conditions 
but we'll be a full squad for the next game and carry on for 
the rest of the season." 

"We'll be fit and have enough guys to compete, as we do always, 
but Sigma is going to be a really strong contest for us. At this 
point, winning is one thing but really putting the squad out there 
and making the effort. You cannot fault the effort today. 
Guys played exceptionally well, we just couldn't combine 
well enough to finish our chances."
