Scoreless at the half...

Worst penalty decision you're ever likely to see. If that's the standard, no reason to bother staying on your feet, ever, in the penalty area.

Ponce coming in 79 minute.  Dos Santos showing some faith in the new guy.

Escalante being trash? Never.

1-1

Absolute trash at the end, but Valour were good enough to take the points. Ball looked clearly over the end line. Unlucky.

Cavalry… always getting it done.  I watched the replay, looked like the ball stayed in play to me.

Pacific, Forge and Cavalry staring to bubble to the top.  Going to be dog fight for the last playoff spot.

On third look, not that bad. Ball was on the line but not out. The penalty decision, though, was shocking.

I totally agree, by the book, it looked like a foul, I need to see it in slow motion.  Given the circumstances I don’t think it should have been called.  It was close enough that it should have been let go.

Grrrrrr....

Need to get healthy to stop the late game bloodbaths. A 1-1 draw would have been an absolutely epic result in light of everything Valour is dealing with. Just hold them off for 3 mins...how was this NOT the game plan?

Sure? But Calgary frankly did not impress, and Dyer nearly made it 2-1. If that had gone in we're singing a different tune.

He did, but he didn't. And now we're singing a very familiar tune. On the road, this was tragic.
