Game is at 7pm PT (10pm ET) on One Soccer.

The first leg ended 0-0.

The game is close to a sell out.

The winner will face Herediano of Costa Rica in the Round of 16.

Sounds like Waterhouse are arriving early in Victoria.

Hope the quicker turf PFC are used to at home helps them out!

Would there be extra time for this or straight to PKs?

Ya there is extra time.

American ref crew tonight.

I'm really hoping we play better and advance in this tournament. We've looked pretty heavy legged in recent matches, but this is an important game for the club

[davey_twelve]

Yeah a couple of the guys looked (understandably) gassed after the Valour game. I'm hoping Heard and Dixon were just out for rotation on the weekend and Didic didn't have a lot of minutes either. Otherwise I think all the other of tonight's starting outfield players will be ones that played on the weekend (not sure what happened with the left backs).

Our midfield was lost on the weekend. I like both Manny, and Sean Young, but we lost the battle horribly in the first half. I thought Dos Santos was very poor as well, and Bustos has too often been a bit of a ghost as well. They both can turn it up a notch but we'll lose with that same effort we saw in the first half against Valour.

LB was once probably our strongest position in 2019 with Blake Smith and Marcel, but we've never adequately replaced either of them. I don't get it. It's been a clear weakness for a while now.

Go Pacific, I guess.

It has to be tempting for Pacific to shoot every chance they have with that sun where it is.  Ouch.

[narduch]

Bustos makes it 2.

Well deserved 

[Cheeta]

Two good passes and a nice goal all in the same play.  A worthy goal.

Waterhouse sort of faded in the 2nd half in Jamaica.  Might be a half coming up.

[jonovision]

This Jamaican team is terrible.

[Cheeta]

Man, the break couldn't come quick enough for Waterhouse there.  Match is still within reach, I guess, but.... 

Pacific finding a lot of pleasure with those angled crosses.  Tails up and having a go at it. 

[Cheeta]

Hint of offside on Heard there. 

There's the night.   Bring in the subs.

[Cheeta]

And... I'm pretty sure Foster isn't talkiing to ANY of his team mates tonight.  Or tomorrow.  Or the forseeable future.

4-0

It's great to know we started a league that is already there to compete with the middle tier in the region. Forge set the standard, here we are continuing with a result. 

Great crowd and good atmosphere in Langford. I hope fans realise that Herediano is an even bigger club, a real quality rival coming in.
