Hard to have imagined anyone looking more forward to this match than Bustos.

Not going to lie, but with Valour coming to the Left Coast this weekend I hoping this Cup fixture turns into a kicking match.  A big, fat, damn you all, hoof fest.

Don't get me wrong, hoping Pacific limps off the field victorious tonight.

Victorious, but limping.  To the man.  Looking at you, Campbell.

[dyslexic nam]

Definitely rooting for Pacific.  
 

PK just called.  Woot woot.  

[narduch]

Pk for Pacific 

Campbell scores 

[Cheeta]

😮

Quite the start eh?

[dyslexic nam]

1-0 Pacific.   
 

Nice.

These Voyageurs Cup games sell themselves.

[Cheeta]

LOL.

What?  No VAR?

[Cheeta]

Have to say, filled to overflowing it's a delightful little park on a cup night.  

My Britball is showing.

Manny Aparicio is a magician and at York we took him for granted.

There's a reason I chose him as the back of my York United shirt.

In fairness, I don’t think the Caps player did anything wrong there.   I know that often gets called in the keeper’s favour but he leapt over the scrum and lost possession.  Not really the attackers fault.

He is, probably the best free kick taker this country has ever produced to boot.

Agreed.

I keep thinking this is going to penalties.  Hopefully the boys in purple pull this out.

Keeper needed to do better.

...just a cracker by Aparicio

[Cheeta]

Smashing!

You lucky bugger!

It may go to PKs but it may be 6-6 after extra time.

Although I think he was slightly offside and he got a few lucky bounces, our boy did it again!

He definitely is a magician.
