Down to the final round, Jordan Wilson planted his ball into the roof firmly and Marco Bustos had his stopped to send Martin Nash's men through to the last four of the Voyageurs Cup.

''It was great for the spectators, was so great for me in the second half but I thought we had a really good first half and scored two goals,'' Head coach Martin Nash reacted in his post-match.

''We’re under pressure for large parts that second half. They really came at us especially the last 10 minutes and we bent and bent and bent and I guess finally broke with the last kick of the game.

''There are some things we want to look at within our group after that result just to learn and grow to go forward, regather, regroup and be able to win games.''

The Gaffer also refused to make a huge capital from the unbeaten record- in the two matches-against the current league leaders and defending champions at their fortress.

When asked if his side can now count themselves as serious contenders for honours this season, he replied by saying: ''Not yet to be honest. I think we have a long way to go. I think it was a really good result here to beat the league leaders in a Cup [competition].

''I wouldn't say we won, though, to be fair. Penalty shootout could go either way.

''To get a draw here is still as good but I'm pleased we scored two goals but not pleased we conceded two.

''But I still think to come here and get a result is tough because no one's done it yet this year and I don't think a lot of teams will.

''To be honest, they're a very good team. They can put a lot of pressure on you in many ways. So it's good for our guys to get a taste of this and take this as a bit of a badge of an honor to come here and play two games and not lose.''

York United return to York Lions Stadium this Sunday after four matches on the road in all competitions and will face Calvary FC.
