Quinn Kirkendall (82') scored and Nuno Manuel Gil Goncalves kept a clean sheet as Sanjaxx Lions 
got their third win of the season following a 1-0 scoreline over winless visitors, 
Pro Stars Academy. 

"We came out to bring a disciplined game because we know what Pro Stars is going to bring," 
said Sanjaxx assistant coach, Devon Porter. "They came right at us."

"The two teams had good chances, but we mainly wasted our chances," he added. 

"We failed to defend the way we should defend but all in all we got the goal and won and 
I think that matters." 

Pro Stars head coach Indrit Fortuzi said his team had the opportunities to score and even 
win the game, but did not take them. Despite the loss, he found many positives in the 
Pro Stars performance. 

"What I saw was we were good in the game but I saw what I saw every game and it was that 
we had many chances and still didn't score. We need goals to boost the psychology of the 
team and of course to gain points." 

"However, what was good was that we pressed the team higher, we played the ball, 
and we defended in the midfield," he added. 

"We had more possession of the ball but we are missing the last passes. This is the big 
problem for us. We had chances and had to score but the forward players need to work 
more on what they are doing in front of the goal, especially inside the six yard box." 

Pro Stars FC will next play Oakville Blue Devils on September 10 at Bronte, Oakville. 

Sanjaxx Lions will next play North Mississauga Panthers on September 10 
at Monarch Park, Toronto.
