In Ottawa, a crowd of 9,057 cheered the Fury to victory against the Vancouver Whitecaps in their first ever game against an MLS calibre team.
In a game that made a statement to Canadian soccer fans, the Ottawa Fury defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-0 in the opening leg of the Amway Canadian Championship semi-finals. It is a night that will be remember in Ottawa for a long time to come, especially if they can repeat the performance next week.
Vancouver head coach Carl Robinson must have underestimated the Ottawa Fury, as he decided to field a team comprised almost exclusively of youngsters and reserves.
