VANCOUVER—The Vancouver Whitecaps thought they had their hands on the Voyageurs Cup. Then Toronto FC ripped it out of their fingers.
Toronto midfielder Will Johnson scored late in extra time on Wednesday night, allowing the Reds to claim a 2-2 draw with Vancouver in the two-game, aggregate-goal Amway Canadian Championship. Toronto was awarded the Cup due to its away goal.
“We put everything into it,” said Johnson, a Canadian international. “We played our strongest lineup every single game. We went for it.”
The Whitecaps led 2-0 on goals by defender Tim Parker, in the 68th minute, and midfielder Nicolas Mezquida, in the 47th minute.
