York United blanks Pacific FC en route to 1st Canadian Premier League playoff win

York United FC won its first-ever Canadian Premier League playoff game, dispatching Pacific FC 2-0 in the fourth- versus fifth-place matchup that kicked off post-season play Wednesday.

There was little of note in a sloppy first half that saw more than a few errant passes in York's third career playoff outing — and first ever at York Lions Stadium.

But Mexican Oswaldo Leon put York ahead in the 47th minute, rising high to head home a Juan Cordova cross after Pacific failed to clear a free kick sent into the penalty box. Four minutes later, Cordova hammered a shot off the goalpost after some more slack Pacific defending.
