VANCOUVER, BC – Alphonso Davies and Nicolás Mezquida scored in the first half to give Vancouver Whitecaps FC an exciting 2-1 win over Montreal Impact in the first leg of the Canadian Championship semifinal series. David Choinière tallied the all-important away goal for the visitors at BC Place on Tuesday evening.
WFC goalkeeper Spencer Richey recorded five saves, including a pair of massive stops against Patrice Bernier – first on a penalty kick, then on a short-distance stab in the dying moments.
The result sets up what should be an exciting decisive second leg next Tuesday, May 30 at Stade Saputo in Montreal (TSN, TSN Radio 1410).
