Luca Accettola’s late heroics earn York United a 2-2 draw in a chilly showdown with Pacific

You could feel autumn falling in Toronto this Thursday. York United already locked into playoffs but still coming out with energy before kickoff. First twelve minutes? Quiet, just one corner for York. Then at 16, their keeper rushed out for a ball, messed it up, but Pacific couldn’t finish the chip. Minute 20, Marco Bustos sneaks in from a cross and smashes Pacific’s opener. A few scrappy minutes later, Pacific’s keeper almost gave York a gift at 31, but nothing. Next play, penalty called, Alejandro Díaz rolls in goal number two for Pacific in the 33rd. York’s Altobelli works hard, snatches possession, wins a corner, but Pacific locks things down till halftime.

Second half felt like York waking up late. At 74 Hudan finishes a long fast ball to make it 2-1 and bring life back to the crowd. York pushes hard, and at 82 Leo López rattles the bar with a rocket, close but no finish. Just when it looked over, deep into stoppage time 90+  Luca Accettola pops up, slots it home, and snatches a dramatic 2-2 draw. Pacific walks away frustrated, York heads to the playoffs fired up.
