TORONTO, ONT – The stage was set for Wednesday’s Canadian Championship final second and deciding leg a week ago at BC Place. A pulsating 2-2 draw had it all – penalty kicks, red cards, hard tackles, and late drama.
But the ‘Caps are in Toronto for one reason only: to spoil the party and win the cup.
And Whitecaps FC have been pretty good at spoiling the party of late. On Saturday, they ended Cascadia rivals Portland Timbers’ 15-match unbeaten streak with a 2-1 victory at Providence Park. The previous weekend, an 87th-minute equalizer at New York City FC saw the ‘Caps snatch a 2-2 draw, becoming only the second team to leave Yankee Stadium with points this season.
