Valour FC and FC Edmonton drew 1-1 for the third time this season on Sunday afternoon in a match that had playoff implications. With the defeat, FC Edmonton are officially eliminated from making it to the postseason, while Valour missed an opportunity to gain some ground on the teams above them.
Sean Rea gave the home side the lead seconds before halftime, but a goal from Azriel Gonzalez moments after the break cancelled it out. The match would end 1-1, with both sides failing to put the ball in the back of the net with their late opportunities.
