DJT Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 First leg final: Charleston 2 Puerto Rico 2 22' PR Marcina 53' CHA Armstrong 60' PR Gonzalez 89' CHA Glinton USL Official Match Information Charleston Battery report The Post and Intelligencer (Charleston) report First leg final: Vancouver 4 Miami 1 12' VAN Testo 35' VAN Gjertsen 44' VAN Lyall 64' MIA Romario 88' VAN Donatelli USL report USL Official Match Information Vancouver Whitecaps report Miami FC report Miami Herald report - Miami did not have Zinho. - Vancouver dominated throughout and continued to attack even with the lead. Lilley said that he views the series as one 180-minute match, so perhaps this strategy isn't so surprising and he'll bunker in the Miami heat. - Miami picked things up slightly after their goal, but Vancouver took over again to end the game and got a huge fourth goal. There is no away-goal rule. - Romario did nothing all game until scoring on a free kick, then did nothing afterwards. But he was classy after the game, spending a lot of time greeting fans, posing for pictures, signing autographs. - Overall, a very entertaining match, even just listening to it. Miami did not play defensively (just 3 at the back), but didn't have enough offensively to break Vancouver down. Vancouver could have scored several more goals. - Attendance: 5,437 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argh1 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hmmmm, the odds look good for a Montreal/Vancouver semi-final. Too bad the schedule's set that the 'Caps and Impact can't meet in the final though, that'd be awesome. But not this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and White Army Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Sounds like the Vancouver players put in a great performance that lasted the entire match. Hopefully they won't blow the 3-goal lead like they have in the past! If Vancouver can get by Miami and then Montreal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they won't blow the 3-goal lead like they have in the past! If Vancouver can get by Miami and then Montreal.... A good reason for a B & W Army return to the west coast. The Whitecaps have a quiet confidence going right now. They expect to win every game and are trying to make up for years of playoff futility.

DJT Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Second leg, halftime: Miami 0 Vancouver 1 45'+3' VAN Sebrango Vancouver did not bunker in the first half and even seemed to be getting more chances than Miami, but I missed some of the half. There were 8 minutes of stoppage time because Jay Alberts was stretchered off, then his replacement Dave Morris was seriously injured within seconds of coming on and had to come off as well. Miami have Zinho back, but are now without Mario "Loco" Rodriguez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Second leg final: Miami 0 Vancouver 2 45'+3' VAN Sebrango 64' VAN Nash Aggregate: Vancouver 6 Miami 1 Second leg final: Puerto Rico 0 Charleston 1 53' CHA Armstrong The goal was scored on a 25-yard free kick. The match ended with an altercation between a Puerto Rico player and the referee, possibly with a punch thrown, and then some Puerto Rico "fans" chasing the referee and linesmen out of the stadium! Aggregate: Charleston 3 Puerto Rico 2 Canadian angle: Marcina's out, but Watson's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
