In a commanding performance, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's soccer team emerged victorious over the No. 3 nationall-ranked Carleton Ravens with a 2-1 win on September 29, 2024, extending their impressive season. The Blues dominated the game with both tactical discipline and offensive pressure, asserting their presence from the start.

Toronto took control in the second half, with standout forward Andrea Schifano opening the scoring at the 51:40 mark, thanks to a brilliant assist by Niklas Hallam. Schifano's goal highlighted his excellent form this season, marking his fourth of the year. Not long after, Kingsley Belele doubled the lead at 68:33 with an impressive unassisted goal, showcasing the team's ability to capitalize on key moments.

While Carleton managed a late goal in the dying seconds, courtesy of Mohammed Bouzidi, it was merely consolation as the Varsity Blues defence and stellar goalkeeping from Maxwell Campeau ensured their victory. Campeau was unbeatable for most of the match, making four crucial saves to keep the Ravens at bay, further solidifying his status as a reliable shot-stopper.

Throughout the game, Toronto displayed superior teamwork and a well-organized defence. The Blues managed six corner kicks to Carleton's three, illustrating their control of set-piece opportunities. The team's cohesive play was evident in their balanced attack and defense, preventing the nationally-ranked Ravens from building any real momentum.

Despite a physical contest that saw Toronto receive three yellow cards, the Blues maintained their composure and focus, securing another well-earned win. With this victory, the Varsity Blues continue to showcase their dominance and are proving to be a force to be reckoned with this season, improving their record to 6-1-1.
