Sights & Sounds: FC Edmonton 3-3 Valour FC

Valour FC’s season and, by extension, their hopes for a playoff spot came to an end Saturday at Clarke Field in a 3-3 draw to a fiery FC Edmonton side already eliminated from post-season play. Phil Dos Santos’s side needed a win to stay alive in the playoff chase… Which took a hit after just four minutes when Tobias Warschewski converted on a deflection. Amer Didic added another from a corner, so did Azriel Gonzalez after halftime… But the previously lacklustre Winnipeggers shocked the crowd with three goals in the closing 15 minutes and came within a William Akio shot of prolonging their playoff hopes but, instead, closed on an emotional note and a 10-5-13 regular-season record.

The Eddies, meanwhile, will close out their season on Saturday against Forge FC (2:00pm ET/12:00pm MT) live on OneSoccer.
