Campo Atletico made it their own little cup run and secured their spot in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s premier division for 2018/19.
In a three-way battle to avoid being relegated, Atletico got some fortunate turns early in the week when EDC Burnaby fell 3-0 to the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves, and Westside FC was hammered 6-1 by Rino’s.
Needing a straight win to hurdle past both rivals, or at minimum a draw to force a tie-breaker, the Burnaby-based Atletico doubled Rino’s 4-2 on Wednesday to finish ninth in the 12-team league, with a 6-1-15 record.
Scoring for Campo were Cristian Villatoro, with two, Matias Guedes and team scoring leader Edson Castro, with his 10th of the season.
