Brampton Lions Defeat Montreal Academy 1-0

(CSL) - Brampton Lions moved up to 10th position in the standings with a narrow 1-0 victory over Montreal Impact Academy at Victoria Park, while one other game scheduled in the CSL Saturday, the TFC Academy vs. Brantford Galaxy game was postponed at Brockton Stadium due to wet ground conditions.

Following a close and even first half which was scoreless at the interval, forward Judah Hernandez scored the all-important goal for Brampton at 66 minutes when he took a pass from Daniel Nascimento to cut in from the wing and score with a left foot drive that beat Montreal goalkeeper Maxime Carle at the near post.

Montreal fought to get on even terms and came close to scoring in an attempt that caused Brampton goalkeeper Roy Blanche from being shown a red card for a foul ‘denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity’.  >>>
