Match Thread: Voyageurs Cup - Preliminary Round - Guelph United v HFX Wanderers - May 10, 2022

[narduch]

Game is at 7pm ET on One Soccer (on the main 24H Channel).

This is the first trip to the Voyageurs Cup for League 1 Ontario champs Guelph United.

This is the 2nd time Wanderers will face a L1O squad in the Cup. Back in 2019 HFX eliminated Vaughan Azzurri 3-3 on aggregate on away goals.

The winner will host TFC in the quarter finals.

I like both teams so I'm hoping for the upset.  It would be great for Guelph to get to host TFC and a fun road trip for TFC fans.  That would be meaningful money for an L1O side as, frankly, should be the Halifax game.

Respect to Guelph United for having am amazing crest

[Lurker]

Definitely a bit nervous going into this one… it’s not hard to picture a situation where the Wanderers fail to put the ball in the net despite doing mostly everything else right.

Having TFC play in Halifax will be a huge deal as well.  The CF Montreal game last year was a great night for the city.

As thankful as I am for our temporary setup I get the sense we could draw 10k for a game like that if we had the capacity.

Game not available on bet365 in Ontario

have a “feeling” Guelph will score first goal and wanted to put some $’d on that one 

🙏

No football lines that’s good

[SoccMan]

Better crowd than I’ve ever see at a York United game , CPL get out of these big cities and go to small cities like this .

[grasshopper1917]

Yea looks like an awesome crowd - sad no to see Skublak start. So far Guelph holding their own.

[narduch]

Pk for Wanderers

Well, on second thought ……..👍

[Lurker]

Up 1... hoping we don't regret the other 2-3 goals we could have scored. (normal Wanderers road experience imo).

Reggie Laryea, brother of Richie, enters the game for Guelph.

[Califax]

Interesting to see our strategy of pissing away chances.

unconventional and bold. 

[narduch]

Nice strike by Daniels makes it 2 for Wanderers 

[narduch]

 

[narduch]

Wanderers win 2-0.

Will host TFC in 2 weeks 

[grasshopper1917]

Happy Daniels converted that chance. Would have been much happier if they converted 2 or 3 of the chances. Garcia is basically useless out there I feel. 

Wanderers the way better club tonight - will need to convert much better as they will have way less quality chances vs TFC.

It's a good crowd.  But it's also an "event" and lots of times that tends to draw in more people.  Hosting a weekly CPL game isn't the same.

Was at this one.  Great crowd, announced  as 1728.  Guelph were never really in it.  I liked their big CB Maletic.  Rampersad, Daniels and Lamothe were outstanding.
