Three starters on the bench for Pacific. Seems risky for a game you need to win.

[narduch]

Pacific need to win to advance. Otherwise York 9 are in.

We'll see if Edmonton can be spoilers.

Halftime 0-0.

Edmonton came to play.

Likewise Pacific haven't as of yet.

OMG ONGARO!!!

Definitely a handball 

Sean Young looks to be a solid player

[SpursFlu]

Best player in the CPL - Marco Bustos

Congrats Pacific.  Look forward to playing you again in the second round.

I liked Chung's confident dribble 1 v 1 before laying it for Bustos and his sweet finish, not forgetting the linking play of that other Baldisimo.

It would be funny if the Caps twitter featured this goal 😉

[SpursFlu]

Every time Bustos was on the ball it was next level footwork and ball control. The goal was just a cherry on top

Certainly up there!!!  I wonder that if Bustos went to the same club as Tristan Borges, would he get significant playing time?

[Initial B]

Welp, I don't see Paulus being coach next season. Probably for the best as they need a re-think of what it takes to compete in this league.

Have to write, he is sooooo one footed it's almost embarrassing, everyone knows he's going to try to get onto his left however, just try and do something about it.  Leave him all the space you want to on his right.  Doesn't matter. 

Kick, goal, pick that one out.

I wasn’t particularly impressed with Young in his first appearance or two but he changed the game today with his energy and fight. He’s grown in confidence throughout this tournament

I agree. I thought he'd be a similar player to Noah Verhoeven but I think Young can over quite a bit more.

Whenever I watch fc Edmonton . They can hardly connect any passes.  

 

The big difference in the middle from last year is Ajay khabra and Edem Morts being injured. 

 

Is there Bustos highlights?!
