MONTREAL, QUE – Vancouver Whitecaps FC will face a must-win situation next week at BC Place after falling 1-0 to Montreal Impact on Wednesday in the first leg of the Canadian Championship semifinal at Stade Saputo.
Alejandro Silva scored the only goal of the game in the 58th minute, finishing with his left foot from the top of the box after a nice passing sequence from the Impact.
Montreal’s Anthony Jackson-Hamel also hit the woodwork twice on the evening, heading a Daniel Lovitz cross off the post in the first half and striking the bar on a curling effort in the second.
