York United defeats Quebec semi-pro side FC Laval 5-0 in Canadian Championship play

York United FC defeated Quebec semi-pro side FC Laval 5-0 on Tuesday at York Lions Stadium in the Telus Canadian Championship preliminary round.
York entered the match after a winless four-game league streak, while Laval, Ligue1 Quebec champions last year, had limited play this season with only one league game.
Julian Altobelli opened the scoring just before halftime with an assist from captain Oswaldo Leon, and the team extended their lead with goals from Max Ferrari, Adonijah Reid, Bryan Rosa, followed by Massimo Ferrin converting a penalty in the 79th minute.
York dominated possession and shots, holding 59% first-half possession and outshooting Laval 11-3, with Altobelli continuing his strong CPL start by scoring his sixth goal in six games.
This victory propels York into a quarterfinal matchup against the current CPL leaders, Atletico Ottawa, while also giving coach Mauro Eustaquio’s squad a crucial lift as they sit sixth in the league standings.
