2021 League1 Ontario Season: Matchweek 8 Recap
By Marty Thompson, 09/20/21, 2:30PM EDT

Parity was the name of the game this week in League1 Ontario Premier Division action as league leaders 
and top dogs dropped points as the race for the playoffs intensified.

Here’s your weekly review.

Men’s Premier Division Matchweek 8: Guelph continues reign
Guelph United continued their title pace in emphatic fashion Friday when they dispatched 
North Mississauga 6-2 to grab their sixth win on the season on a staggering +26 goal differential. 
They’re two points up on second-place Blue Devils, who grabbed a clutch 1-0 win over third spot 
FC London the same night.

In the eastern division, Vaughan Azzurri kept a similar pace in less extravagant circumstances, 
dispatching Woodbridge Strikers 1-0 on Raheem Rose’s lone marker. Vaughan sits on top of the west 
on 16 points, five behind Unionville Milliken and Masters FA, who played out a 0-0 on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Darby FC and North Toronto Nitros traded blows in a 2-2 draw that saw two goals 
in stoppage time from Aaron Cha and Dino Custovic – the latter grabbing his brace three minutes 
into additional time.

Matches continue Thursday when 1812 FC Barrie squares off with Woodbridge. Friday promises 
to bring the match of the week, though, when Guelph visits FC London for an 8:30pm start. 
Can golden boot leader Jace Kotsopoulos and co. give their fellow title challengers a second 
home loss in a row?
