Toronto FC was defeated 5-3 on penalties by the Vancouver Whitecaps in the 2022 Canadian Championship Final at BC Place on Tuesday night.
After a 1-1 scoreline following 90 minutes of play, the match went straight to a penalty shootout, as it did in June when Toronto FC beat Forge to the 2020 title.
From the get go, the game plan from Vanni Sartini’s side was to stay organized defensively, and hit Toronto on the counter. Alex Bono was tested early, with Lucas Cavallini’s shot on target in the first minute kicked out by the TFC goalkeeper.
