I was going to comment that this must be the first non-bubble Sunday evening (6:30 or later) home game in Valour history, but in fact they had one last year, also against York.

Ohin back from suspension.  Mlah to the bench?  Sanchez should be close to full health, options in the MF.

two of the worst defenders in cpl history face each other on the benches today...haynes and higgins

[jonovision]

Interesting that Mlah gets the start ahead of Ohin.

And Verhoeven over Sanchez for the bench.  Certainly not targeting U21 minutes.

Crowd looks smaller than usual. Disappointing. 

[Wippersuna]

There’s a couple hundred probably on the opposite side with their dogs as its pups at the pitch night. Still smaller but not as bad.

Smaller.  Usually a whack of people watching from the concourse, not so much today.  

Pity.  Perfect night for footie

York with all the pressure but the nearest chance of the half was probably Diogo nearly punishing Vincensini for his sweeper keeper BS.

I know it doesn't work for everyone but a weekend evening start is so much nicer than baking in the sun on a Saturday afternoon.
