Rea scores a nice counter goal.

Out of absolutely nowhere.

Valour look way more composed today than they have been even if I’m sure heartbreak is coming. Baquero and Fordyce seem to be much more steadying lately too.

Valour obviously play at a talent deficit to most of the rest of the league, as in past years, but I never saw a Rob Gale side look as organized as Valour has for the most part this year.

Fordyce doubles the lead with a tip in. Nice to see them get a second effort.

Really poor from Sirois there. Nice strike though.

[Wippersuna]

Hard to be too upset on that one. Phenomenal strike.

Sirois having a nightmare.

Diaz ties it

[jonovision]

This Pacific team sure dives a lot.

Valour's lack of depth really shows in the second half of matches. Other teams can bring on difference makers. Valour simply only have 11 or decent guys. No surprise given the spending gap.

No matter the outcome here I’m going to end the night knowing that Polisi’s hair is ridiculous

How does Sirois not come and claim that? I miss Pantemis.

[jonovision]

How is Didic not shown a yellow there?

Match ends 2-2

Disappointing second half but I'll take the point. I haven't watched all of Pacific matches, but IMO their record flatters them.
