Sights & Sounds: HFX Wanderers 1-0 Pacific FC

HFX Wanderers FC pulled off an important and impressive result against league-leaders Pacific FC on Thanksgiving Monday to reinvigorate their playoff hopes.

With the result, the Wanderers leapfrog York United for the fourth and final playoff spot taking a one-point advantage while York remains with a game at hand.
