Toronto FC has punched its ticket to the Canadian Championship final. And speaking of punching, laying out Jacob Shaffelburg might have been Pacific FC’s best…
“Personally, I got to be better. I had like 4-5 chances I could have been better on to probably have put the game away,” Shaffelburg said. After the Reds took a 2-0 lead in the first half, Pacific cut the lead in half in the 83rd minute when Kadin Chung, stepping past a sliding Michael Bradley, found Alejandro Díaz alone in the box and the Mexican forward right-handed the ball into the far corner. The match evolved into a nail-biter at that point with the visitors finishing strong.
The Canadian Championship is the only shot TFC has of winning a trophy this year and Perez put out his best possible starting XI against the boys from the West Coast. Long eliminated from the MLS Cup playoffs, the Reds face D.C. United in their last regular season match of the season on Sunday afternoon at BMO Field.
The Port Williams, N.S. native scored TFC’s second goal in the 26th minute. He picked up a beautiful pass from Canadian national team teammate Richie Laryea from the side of the goal, jumped between a couple of PFC defenders, and left-footed a shot into the far corner.
Bustos, one of Pacific’s best players, was replaced to start the second half by Olumide Dada-Luke, who made his presence felt right away when he fed a pass to Josh Heard and the PFC attacking midfielder blasted a shot from outside the box just wide.Article content
