Toronto FC 5 – 2 Vancouver Whitecaps FC (Canadian Championship Final – Aggregate 7-4)
By Luis Martinez (Twitter @canadaluis)
Toronto, ON – Toronto FC repeat on the Voyageurs Cup with the maximum title in Canadian soccer.
This masacre starts at 13′, when Jonathan Osorio, a beautiful goal, one that paralyzed the Vancouver Whitecaps as though they got frozen before the winter!
The Whitecaps are currently the best performing Canadian Team at the MLS level, but it wasn’t enough to beat the 2 times Champion of Canada!!!
The Man of New Jersey, Jozy Altidore, was the hero, the key, the factor and the goal man of the night (hat trick).
It Is very important to remember the last year when Giovinco and Altidore became the best forward in North America, facing all the MLS teams and smashing the best Mexican teams like Tigres and America.
The Vanney Boys accomplished this great feat and they still have some opportunity to go into the playoffs and be involved on the fight for the MLS cup.
Also the representative of Ontario have to confront Tigres in September in a new partnership between MLS and Liga MX in a Campeones Cup.
