The match was marked by an intense commitment from both sides, and numerous scoring opportunities were explored.

The opening phase of the game saw York United FC take a commanding lead with two goals within three minutes (23:35 and 26:14). However, Atletico Ottawa showcased extreme resilience by netting their first goal at 35:19, effectively ending the first half 2-1 in favor of the away side.

Early into the second half, Atletico Ottawa leveled the game at 2-2 with a goal at 59:03, only for York United FC to regain their lead just two minutes later (01:01:42). Despite this challenge, Atletico managed to make an inspired comeback at 01:20:52, equalizing the score at 3-3.

York United's initially dominating performance seemed to be hampered by their discipline, as they received two yellow cards in the second half at 01:02:39 and 01:14:04 as opposed to Atletico Ottawa's lone card in the first half at 00:47:11. This lack of discipline could have affected their focus and control in the latter stages of the game, which ultimately led to granting Atletico's late equalizer.

Both teams had a fairly similar corner kick rate. Atletico Ottawa had only slightly more at four versus York United's three, implying balanced aggressive play from both sides. However, Atletico showed slightly more risks in their attacking, which justified by their higher offsides count (3) compared to York United FC's (2).

The tie might feel like a missed opportunity for York United after having initial control of the game, yet, Atletico Ottawa would feel justly rewarded for their resilience and courage to come from behind two times.

In conclusion, this was a match of evenly pitted teams with similar levels of aggression and skill. York United FC will need to reflect on their discipline while Atletico Ottawa will look at capitalizing on initial opportunities to avoid playing catch-up. Elements of discipline, tactical approach and clinical finishing were evidently the game-changer in this thrilling encounter.
