Coo!  Slick left footer Yesli maybe saw late just gets enough of the post to stay out, for 1/2 a second.

Action stations for Pacific.  Atletico if they're not chasing they're watching.

Beauty tacke.  Text book.  Teach the kids!

2-0 at the break

[Mihairokov]

Honestly feels like it's all Pacific but if any team can claw back two in 45 mins it's this Atletico side 

[narduch]

Well Pacific will have added incentive now as they have drawn Whitecaps for the semis 

[Cheeta]

Looking set up to the derby semis.  Loads of fun that.

Not done yet.  Atletico can do goals.  Needs to be night and day halves for Ottawa for that to happen though.  Guess we're going to see.

salter in tabla out at the break

[Cheeta]

WTF????

[Big_M]

53' sellouf misses a wide open net...you just cant miss that

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Fun for us neutrals but surely Pacific want to slow this down. 

[Cheeta]

Hell of a half and change for Sellouf but still just a kick of the ball away from becoming "next goal wins".

Doesn't feel that way of course.  Ottawa just about useless out there.

[Big_M]

60' salter scores 2-1

[Big_M]

78' zanatta in heard out...pacifics most dangerous player pulled

[Cheeta]

Hell of a match by Heard.  Clap-clap-clap.

[Big_M]

84' antinoro in zapater out

[Cheeta]

Well, it's been heavy legs for Ottawa since the 1st whistle and a bit of bad luck for Pacific to not put this to bed in the 1st half but there it is.  The score line flatters Atletico.

pacific beats the overhyped ottawa 2-1 and advances to face whitecaps in the semis

[Watchmen]

Pacific wins to set up a match up against the Whitecaps with a spot in the Voyageurs Cup final on the line.  Wheeler: "Let's talk about Ottawa."  Never change, OneSoccer.

Its litterally our first defeat of the season...

Which is why I can't be too mad about it, as it was bound to happen at some point even if the timing for it about the worse possible one. Its a real shame to have assembled that squad and not be able to test it against MLS competition.

Oh well, I guess that year's CanChamp is one to be forgotten for me, as there is bound to be one every now and then I guess. I still want ATO to be the first CPL club to make the final and for TFC to not win an eight title (As far I am, and a ton of non-TFC or Forge fans are, concerned the ''2020 Canadian Championship'' was a travesty that shouldn't have been played and doesn't count in any way) so go Whitecaps I guess?

*sigh*

You have already embraced the spirit of what it's like being a Whitecaps fan. 😆

Better performance from Pacific. I'm still not convinced but I am more optimistic for the season. I thought Ndom's injury would kill us but we still have options on the backline
