Pacific FC beat FC Edmonton 5-1 to move back top of the Canadian Premier League table Tuesday.
The Vancouver Island club had learned earlier in the night it had secured a playoff spot thanks to Valour FC’s victory over HFX Wanderers. But Tuesday’s one-sided victory means Pacific is still in good shape to fight for the top seeded playoff spot, and the home field advantage that comes with it.
Pacific’s Alejandro Díaz, Manuel Aparicio and Marco Bustos all scored in the first half to give the home side a big lead going into halftime. And Aparicio and Bustos each scored again after the break. FC Edmonton’s Fraser Aird scored a consolation goal for the visitors.
Next Pacific hosts York United Saturday, while FC Edmonton wait until the following weekend to host Winnipeg’s Valour FC.
