HIGHLIGHTS: Cavalry extends win streak to 3 after defeating York9 
July 21, 2019 

Canadian Premier League 

Cavalry defeated York9 FC 1-0 on Sunday, dispatching the visitors and ending a win streak of two in front 
of the home crowd at Spruce Meadows … and extending their own to three wins in a row on the top 
of the Fall portion of the season.

Coming off the back of a chest-thumping victory over Pacific featuring an audacious Manny Aparicio goal, 
York9 hoped to turn heads in similar fashion away from home. But, the opening goal came in comical fashion, 
though, as Julian Buscher picked out Nico Pasquotti on a quick attacking play 10 minutes in; Pasquotti then 
quickly tapped the ball backward to Jordan Brown, who tested Y9 ‘keeper Nathan Ingham, forcing a save.

However, Ingham’s spilled stop landed at the foot of Luca Gasparotto, who, in an attempt to clear the ball, 
only managed to have the ball hit the knee of Daniel Gogarty, and the ball trickled past Ingham into 
the back of the net for an own goal to Gasparotto.

That one moment would separate the two teams, as a second half compounded by multiple cramps and injury 
breaks saw the two teams play out to a slim 1-0 victory, despite York9’s best efforts – including a massive 
stop by Marco Carducci on a Kyle Porter shot in the 94th minute.

Both Cavalry and York9 return to action on Wednesday, July 24, with Canadian Championship matchups against 
the Vancouver Whitecaps and Montreal Impact of MLS respectively. Cavalry squares off with the Caps 
at B.C. Place after a 0-0 1st leg at Spruce Meadows, while York9 goes into Stade Saputo having conceded 
a pair in a 2-2 1st leg draw at York Lions Stadium.

Three Key Performers

Jordan Brown (Cavalry FC)
Did well to force the eventual own goal … but beyond that, neither team had any real standout players, 
as this stale back-and-forth ended in Cavalry’s favour. Still, Brown was a present threat throughout, 
and helped his team to a third win in a row.

Kyle Porter (York9 FC)
Tested the goal multiple times, including an offside goal and a late effort. While York9 wasn’t 
as inventive and clinical in front of goal as they’d like, Porter was, at least, making the most 
of a slow pitch and a scrappy midfield by pushing forward when he could.

Marco Carducci (Cavalry FC)
Made a last-gasp save to preserve the result … a save that, alone, made him a standout player on a day 
where he was otherwise rarely tested. A goalkeeper isn’t necessarily the most active on the field 
(or, shouldn’t be, really) but it’s these moments that count.
