MONTREAL - The Montreal Impact U21 and Capital City FC played to a 1-1 draw, Saturday afternoon, at Marie-Victorin Sports Complex, in the first match of a home-and-away aggregate goal series in the quarterfinal round of the Canadian soccer league (CSL) playoffs.

Capital City took the lead at the 35th minute of play, when midfielder William Beauge received a long pass down the right wing, controlled the ball toward the center of the field and took a low shot from 25 meters out, beating Impact goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau to his left.

The Impact U21 tied the game at the 62nd minute, when midfielder Wandrille Lefevre scored on a penalty, beating Capital City goalkeeper Clinton Irwin with a low shot to his right.

"We fully deserved the tie," said Impact U21 head coach Philippe Eullaffroy. "We were lacking toughness on 1-on-1 situations during the first half, but we played a really good second half. By increasing our intensity and physical play, we gained mobility, we were more creative and we increased our game speed, which created problems for the opponent. We are going to play the away game with the same attitude."

The U21s will play the away game of the series on October 16 at 3pm in Ottawa.

ASSESSING THE IMFC RESERVES SEASON


With a sixth place finish synonymous with a place in the quarter-finals in the Canadian Soccer League (CSL), the Montreal Impact reserve team improved upon its standing from 2010, and despite being eliminated by Capital City FC, the U21s walked away from the 2011 season with many positives, including a spot in the playoffs, something the team failed to do the year prior.

“That was our objective and we were able to attain it,” said the head coach of the reserve team, Philippe Eullafroy. “This is proof that we’ve progressed. Playing in elimination games was an important experience for our young players. Even though we are a developmental team, we have to cultivate a winning attitude. The reserve team must understand the importance of winning at this level.”
