Pacific 0 - 1 Atlético Ottawa (September 2)

Edmonton     6    0    1    5     4    12    -8     1

If HFX Wanderers win their final game, Cavalry and York9 play to a draw, and Forge lose, then Halifax will finish first. If Wanderers lose, and Pacific and Valour win, Halifax will finish seventh. The only important thing is to finish in the top four, and if Halifax win they're in.
