[narduch]

Game is at 7:30pm PT (10:30 pm ET) on One Soccer and Fubo. 

York can clinch the last playoff spot with a win.

Otherwise they will need to wait and see what Atletico Ottawa does tomorrow.

Randomly I know a few people going to the game tonight. I think somehow it's worked in to people's consciousness that the team exists and aren't crap. A bit late but nice to have a bit of momentum to close the year

York need 62 mins apiece from Abatneh and Martin-Pereux in addition to the win. 

 

[Big_M]

not necessarily as they have dormond on the bench also...and they are two points ahead of ottawa so they could lose and still be in if ottawa doesnt win

Looking forward to seeing Abatneh. What do York fans think of him?

lol mic doesnt work and the singer who was all dressed up cant sing the anthem

[Big_M]

the hated michael venne from the forge game is in the middle tonight

[Big_M]

venne takes out the yellow in the fourth minute to show it to garcia

[Big_M]

de rosario opens the scoring at 17'

[Big_M]

de rosario again at 27'...they want that playoff spot badly

[Big_M]

diaz breakaway puts it way wide 30'

[red card]

I like the different look of dark stands with the stair lighting.

Gives off festival of lights vibe or being at a candlelight vigil or entering a luxury hotel.

 

[Big_M]

vancouver had four good chances in the last few minutes...dont count them out

[Big_M]

cantave who just got called to haiti scores at 39'...of course bitar with the assist...might have been offside

[Big_M]

yup definitely offside

[Big_M]

abatneh subbed out right before the break...ferrari in

[red card]

CPL after Dark Part 2. Game going behind the supporters group end gives off watching US college soccer vibes.

A terrible non-call

It was Abatneh that was subbed out? I zoned out for a moment and missed who came out and started to think it might have been Martin-Pereux that came out. I thought that was a bad decision (with the amount of reds and injuries U21 players have accumulated this year for the team, I don't want to assume 90 minutes will happen for the other U21 starter). Surprised it was actually Abatneh. Ferrari seemed to be on the left, where Martin-Pereux was. I wish the canpl.ca website would show live updates like substitutes. Can't rewind OneSoccer, can't find the substitutes on the league website, I don't have a twitter account, but York United's twitter feed seems mostly from previous years, no game info.

abatneh got hurt...gee was at lb so he probably slides to cb

Unpopular opinion...this guy's just isn't very good at finishing anymore.

Personally I like him. Solid, reliable defender. Doesn't scream "next level" but I've got no complaints with him.

Cripes. Thanks for confirming. Wheeler just mentioned Gee to CB. I wish I had the numbers for how many times York United started a U21 player and they came out prematurely due to a red or an injury. At least 5 times, maybe more, this season. Otherwise the 2000 minutes would already be done and dusted. Hopefully Martin-Pereux can go long enough so Nash doesn't have to make any subs he doesn't otherwise want to.
