Toronto FC III won their third match on the trot and kept a third clean sheet after 
a 3-0 win over visitors Pro Stars FC.

Dante Campbell (26') opened the scoring with a first half penalty, before Ethan Beckford (54') 
and Daniel Da Silva (76') put the game out of reach in the second. 

"It was a frustrating game at times, I didn't think there was much flow to it," 
said TFC III head coach, Danny Dichio. 

"We caused a lot of our own problems through poor decision-making or a lack of movement 
off the ball, and it's something that we worked on during the week so I was a little 
bit disappointed." 

"We got the win today and another clean sheet but I'm not the happiest today." 

With his goal, Beckford has a total of seven on the season and takes over the position 
of leader at the top of the men's scoring chart.  

TFC III keeper Brogan Engbers kept the clean sheet, his first of the season. 

"It was very difficult to keep our shape because TFC is a very good squad and they 
will just run you into the ground," said Pro Stars head coach, Stiven Mikhail.

"Eventually they cracked us, we just couldn't remain in our shape." 

"I think our midfield just couldn't keep up with them and they pressed our midfield 
well and we just couldn't get the ball where we wanted it to be. I think the frustration 
forced our midfielders to move away from their positions and that created cracks 
which TFC capitalized on." 

"TFC held their angles well and made it difficult for us to string together more than 
two or three passes at a time. We were giving away a lot of cheap balls and that 
contributes. Eventually a good team like that is going to punish you for your mistakes." 

TFC III will next play Windsor TFC on Saturday June 10 at University 
of Windsor Stadium, Windsor. 

Pro Stars FC will next play Oakville Blue Devils on Saturday June 10 
at Avondale Stadium, Brampton.
