Sights & Sounds: Atlético Ottawa 1-1 York United

Atlético Ottawa and York United put on a show in the final match at TD Place of the 2021 season, as the two Ontario sides fought out a high-octane 1-1 draw.

The home side found the scoresheet early in the first half, as local phenom Antoine Coupland’s shot from outside the box took a deflection and beat goalkeeper Nathan Ingham to put Ottawa up 1-0 just 15 minutes into the match.

Ottawa couldn’t finish the rest of their opportunities, though, as York fought back from a goal down and, in the 80th minute, they at last found their equalizer as Noah Verhoeven’s cross found the head of Chrisnovic N’sa in the box.

Here are your sights and sounds from a riveting clash in the nation’s capital.
