Whitecaps host Impact in first leg of Canadian Championship semifinal
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps are eager to right last year’s wrong in the Canadian Championship.
The club was moments away from lifting the national title for a second straight campaign when Toronto FC snatched a late goal after a defensive miscue to stun the Whitecaps and win the two-game, aggregate final in dramatic fashion.
“We threw it away,” said Vancouver head coach Robinson. “It was heartbreaking.”
The Whitecaps have a chance to start making amends in the 2017 tournament on Tuesday night when the Montreal Impact visit B.C. Place Stadium for the first leg of their semifinal. The second leg will be played May 30 in Montreal.
