Pacific FC next faces TSS Rovers
The opening round of the Canadian Championship, this nation’s answer to the FA Cup in England, concluded Thursday night at Starlight Stadium with Pacific FC filling out the quarter-finals dance card by beating Cavalry FC from Calgary on penalty kicks after regulation time ended 1-1.
“We had full confidence in Emil [Gazdov]. He makes those saves all the time in training and we knew he was going make one save.” Minnows rising to slay giants is a big feature of soccer Cup competitions and the Rovers added to the lore. So have PFC and Cavalry FC in their time, as both have previously beaten the Whitecaps of MLS in Canadian Championship play.
The Tridents avenged last year’s first-round loss on penalty kicks to York United of the CPL at Starlight Stadium. Cavalry FC went down on penalties for the second consecutive year, after having lost to the eventual-champion Whitecaps of MLS on penalties in the quarter-final stage.
