Sanjaxx Lions took all three points after a comfortable victory over 
Oakville Blue Devils on September 18.

Oakville was unable to find the back of the net for much of this tense 
match, and it was not until Roman Young was taken out in the box 
in the 89' that allowed for Judah Hernandez to put away the blues' 
only goal with a well struck penalty.

Oakville's attacking duo Felipe Vilela and Kody Ellis led the charge, 
and with assistance from Anthony Doran and Macca Wilde plenty of chances 
were created, but none able to bare fruit.

"If you don't score goals, you don't win points, and we missed a lot 
of chances," stated Duncan Wilde. "When things are going your way they 
go in, when they are not they don't." 

 Two goals in the first half by Timothy Cordova (39') from a deflection 
 and Nathan Clayton (45') from a cross proved to be enough for the Lions 
 to claim the victory.

Sanjaxx keeper Tayjon Campbell also played a pivotal position in this 
victory as he stopped attempt after attempt. The Lions' defence was 
helpless against Vilela and Ellis as they found themselves in front 
of the net going head-to-head with Campbell more often than expected.

"The Sanjaxx goalkeeper played a great game, he made some fantastic 
saves and earned them the points, which they deserved," said Wilde.

"We go again with them on Thursday, we will be playing several new 
players, young players that haven't played yet, so it will be a very 
young team up on Thursday and we are looking forward to it," 
he concluded.

Oakville takes on Sanjaxx Lions on Thursday September 22, 2016 
at Monarch Park Stadium for a 9 p.m. kick-off.
