VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC will head to Toronto next week with the Canadian Championship final in the balance after a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg at BC Place.
On a sweltering night in Vancouver this match had all the ingredients of a cup final between two old rivals – high-quality goals, hard tackles, and a passionate crowd.
The game began in a cagey fashion before Tosaint Ricketts’ handball gave Vancouver a penalty in the 25th minute. Kei Kamara, who now has seven goals in his last six games at BC Place, stood up and calmly slotted the penalty beyond Clint Irwin via the post.
