Canada coach Octavio Zambrano wants Patrice Bernier to delay retirement

Although he has plans to retire, the Reds boss hopes to be able to count on the Montreal Impact's 37-year-old captain beyond the Gold Cup this summer

MONTREAL — It wasn’t the first time new Canadian national team coach Octavio Zambrano got to see a Montreal Impact game at Stade Saputo, and it wasn’t the first time he got to see Patrice Bernier dazzle.

Winning 4-2 on Tuesday, the Impact held on for a 5-4 victory on aggregate against the Vancouver Whitecaps. They advanced to the Canadian Championship final, where they will meet either Toronto FC or the Ottawa Fury.
