Six of the eight playoff spots have now been decided.

score and defender Steven Craig hit the second for a 6-2 result at the whistle.

north of Toronto and Alexandros Halis tied the score 1-1 for SC Toronto at 26 minutes, his 10th goal of the season.

on half-time Massimo Mirabelli beat York Region goalkeeper Adam Majer for a 2-1 visitors` lead at the interval.

It was an even contest into the second half and the Shooters tied the score 2-2 at 65 minutes when defender Chris Turner found the net past

It was a windy Sunday at the Terry Fox Stadium in Canada’s capital and the scoreless tie between Capital City FC and Mississauga Eagles produced 
few opportunities to score due in part to the sound goalkeeping at both ends, Clint Irwin for the home side and Melford James Jr. for Mississauga.
