Vancouver advances to Canadian Championship final
A record Pacific FC capacity crowd of 5,221 was not enough to will the Island Canadian Premier League team to victory this time against the cross-strait Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer. The game was overshadowed by an injury that sent Whitecaps forward Ali Ahmed to hospital.
The game was stopped for 17 minutes in the first half to deal with a serious-looking head injury to Ahmed. He was shielded by a blanket when wheeled off. Whitecaps player Julian Gressel echoed those thoughts: “It was difficult and makes you realize how secondary the game is and how quickly it can be taken away. It rattled us a little bit. Thankfully, Ali was awake and breathing and asking where he was.”
Before the game, PFC head coach James Merriman said his charges needed to be wary about how quickly an MLS side can strike. Indeed, that turned out to be the case.
