The Caps held their nerve in a rare penalty shootout to see off a plucky Cavalry FC and move on to the semifinals of the Voyageurs Cup Wednesday night in Calgary.
It was the first time the Caps had a match go to PKs since the MLS Is Back Tournament but this one went quite well — the Caps perfectly finished off each of their spot kicks and Cody Cropper stepped up with a save when it mattered.
It was a roller coaster of a match previously — a Cavalry wonder goal canceled out what was an otherwise dominate performance from Vancouver and it looked like it might be a case of deja vu until Erik Godoy brought things level in the 81st minute.
