Wanyama’s Montreal Impact squander Champions League dreams after Vancouver Whitecaps loss

Victor Wanyama’s dream of earning a Concacaf Champions League berth ended with a disappointing Montreal Impact 3-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday.

Montreal Impact – after the previous win against Vancouver Whitecaps – needed a win to dislodge Toronto FC at the top to book a place in the Canadian Championship en route to the Champions League tournament.

Wanyama’s teammate Rudy Camacho conceded a penalty – taken and scored by Fredy Montero for the home side - and was sent off in the 37th minute in what turned out to be a match-altering moment.
