Match Thread: Voyageurs Cup - Quarter-Final - Cavalry v Pacific - September 22, 2021

[narduch]

Match is at 8pm local time (10pm ET) on One Soccer.

Cavalry have a record of 6 wins, 2 draw, 4 losses against Pacific all time.

Cavalry knocked Pacific out of the 1st round of the 2019 Voyageurs Cup.

The winner will take on either TFC or York United.

Should be a cracker. Both teams should be amped for it.

Indeed, they've already played each other a bunch of times this year and the games have been close. I imagine this one will get pretty heated.

So winner plays TFC.  Is the next match host determined by coin flip?

Well done, lad.

Watched the last half hour after coaching tonight. Good tense finish. Well done, Pacific!

Will be interesting to see them take on TFC. The Canadian Championship is all the Reds have to play for in 2021 and will be focused on returning to Champions League.

Were there Pacific fans there last night? Just wondering from the sound of the goal celebration--or was that just the PFC bench?

Campbell's finishing, and play in general, is quite mature, I am glad he is getting back his first year form. Still think he'd be a good catch for a transfer up, say to the a Scandinavian 2nd tier.

Campbell is averaging a goal or assist every 80 minutes or so this season. Alessandro Hojabrpour was immense again last night too

Fantastic team performance once again. I think the coaching staff deserve a lot of credit.

At this stage I'd rather see short term loans in the offseason for some of our players like Campbell, Hoja, Chung than transfers. Find out what level we're at before sending players off permanently.

There were about 20 PFC fans in the stands is what we were told.

Problem is our off-season does not really fit naturally with other leagues' needs. A loan from the winter transfer window to March, does not seem so useful. Last season was different.

As I see it, you have to let the young guys go  as they have to have the chance to try to test their careers.

There was a contingent of PFC fans in the main stand. Pretty vocal and pretty happy with the result. Credit to them making the trip in these times.

Good question. Born in Mali so perhaps someone got confused/was too lazy to check?
