Vancouver Whitecaps v Cavalry FC – The Historic Night In Pictures

It was going to happen sooner rather than later – a CPL team knocking out a MLS one – and with Vancouver Whitecaps’ history in the Canadian Championship, it was a good bet that it would happen to them. And so it came to be at BC Place on Wednesday night.

Cavalry FC headed west and were full value for their 2-1 victory, moving on to the semi-finals where they’ll play Montreal Impact. The Whitecaps are impotent once again, undone by a CPL side with a combined wage bill lower than Ali Adnan’s.

Jordan Brown had fired the visitors into an early 7th minute lead and it seldom got better for the ‘Caps after that. Inbeom Hwang tied things up midway through the second half to level the game on the night but keep Vancouver behind on the away goals rule, but none of that mattered when former WFC2 player Dominick Zator headed in what proved to be the final goal of the evening five minutes later.

Out crashed the Whitecaps for the lowest point of their MLS era. For now at least. There’s still time.

AFTN photographer Tom Ewasiuk (@ResidualImage) was there to capture the action before, during and after the game. Here’s his “Story In Pictures”, with a full Flickr slideshow at the end.

Whitecaps fans were prepared for what lay ahead

Although the ‘Caps defence didn’t seem to be, and a long ball forward caused problems

Leaving Jordan Brown to get the better of Doneil Henry and Erik Godoy

And blast home the opening goal seven minutes in

Doneil Henry was making sure that Jordan Brown wouldn’t get away from him again

But the game was getting away from the Whitecaps, with an Erik Godoy miss in front of goal the best they had to show for it in a half with no shots on target

There was a bit more urgency to start the second half but Theo Bair’s header straight at Marco Carducci was about all the ‘Caps were really conjuring up

But midway through the second half, some dogged work from Theo Bair saw the ball come to Inbeom Hwang and his shot was deflected past Marco Carducci in the Cavalry goal

Parity was to last just five minutes as former WFC2 player Dominick Zator rose above the ‘Caps defence

And when the referee blew for full time, Cavalry joy was complete

Tommy Wheeldon Jr planning a new waistcoat with his bonus we’re sure. Well done to him and all the Cavalry lads. You deserved it. Now go do the same to Montreal
