Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s U-13 group wrapped up their trip to Mexico City on Friday with two more matches against international competition.
In a mini-tournament featuring 40-minute matches, the ‘Caps played Nicaraguan team Real Esteli in one semifinal, while fellow Canadian club Montreal Impact took on Mexican team Buhos de Hermosillo FC in the other semifinal.
Battling through tired legs from a long week of action, the ‘Caps found a winning goal in the second half off the foot of Niko Sigur. The young player made a tight turn and struck a 25-yard shot into the top corner for the winning goal in a 1-0 result against Real Esteli.
