North Texas trounces Toronto II, extends lead atop table

North Texas SC (2) v Toronto FC II (0)

Match Center

A late one-two punch from Arturo Rodríguez and Ronaldo Damus earned a 2-0 home win for North Texas SC 
over Toronto FC II on Sunday night. The result extends North Texas’ lead atop the League One table 
headed into the home stretch of the regular season.

On a sweltering night at Toyota Stadium, the two sides played an open and even first half. 
Toronto’s Matthew Srbely hit the bar with a header in the 12th minute, and goalkeeper Eric Klenofsky 
made multiple fine saves for the Canadian side before the break.

The match appeared to be headed toward a scoreless draw as both teams settled into a lull 
in the second half, but North Texas won a penalty in the 73rd minute. Rodríguez coolly dispatched 
the spot kick, sending Klenofsky the wrong way. Damus would polish off a swift attacking move 
for the Texans 10 minutes later to seal the victory, a league-leading 11th goal 
for the Haitian striker.

The result moves North Texas five points clear of second-place Lansing Ignite in the standings 
and pushes them ever closer to securing the top seed in the playoffs. The win was also a measure 
of revenge -- Toronto FC II were the only League One team that North Texas had not yet beaten entering 
the contest, with the two earlier encounters this season ending in a 3-2 defeat and a 3-3 draw for NTX.

At the other end of the table, Toronto II’s winless streak has now reached seven matches. 
With a gap of seven points between themselves and the playoff places, the Canadian club needs 
to turn things around quickly, and will have the chance to do so at home against Chattanooga Red Wolves 
next week.
