The second started with a different mentality from the York side as they applied heavy pressure. Which came up short after a Pacific substitution in the late stages of the game when Pacifics’ Adonijah Reid collected the cross and shot on net to be deflected by Yorks’ Max Ferrari into the back of the York side net in the 77th minute.
