PAVICEVIC GOALS WIN ROYAL CSL CUP

10 Jun 2024

Serbian White Eagles made yet another addition to its increasing record of triumphs with a 2-1 victory over Scarborough SC in the Royal CSL Cup Final played at Esther Shiner Stadium Sunday. It’s been more than half a century since the team entered Canada’s soccer community in 1968. The long list of achievements include four times in the Canadian Soccer League championship final game, winning twice, winning several CSL league titles and was the first Canadian team to reach the CONCACAF Champions Cup final – the North American championship – losing to Monterrey of Mexico in that final game.

The Royal CSL Cup is a memorial trophy in tribute to Enio Perruzza, the CSL announcer for more than two decades who passed away January 2021 at the age of 54 following heart surgery.

It was an attractive, entertaining encounter in doubt until the final whistle after Serbian White Eagles led 2-0 going into the second half before Scarborough cut the lead to 2-1 and fought for an equalizer through the late stages to the final whistle.

Serbian White Eagles opened the scoring at the 28th minute when forward Marko Pavicevic struck from close in. Pavicevic took a pass from Nikola Timotijevic closing in from the left wing. Pavicevic scored a second at 35 minutes when a drive by Timotijevic was deflected by Scarborough goalkeeper Zemdy Dash before Pavicevic headed into the right corner. It was 2-0 at the break.

Scarborough pressed in the second half to get back on equal terms and the east Toronto side’s Petar Pordenic drove the ball from the edge of the box just inside the post to cut the Serbian Eagles lead to 2-1 at 63 minutes. Both sides had good scoring chances during the late stages, it was 2-1 at the final whistle.

Serbian White Eagles and Scarborough meet again on Friday, June 14 in the regular season opener at Centennial Stadium (renamed recently the Rob Ford Stadium), an 8 pm kickoff. Scarborough won the league title 2023 season by one point over runner-up Serbian White Eagles.
