'Caps Claim Late Draw with Toronto FC
July 10, 2008 - USL First Division (USL-1)
Vancouver Whitecaps News Release
Vancouver Whitecaps men completed their Nutrilite Canadian Championship campaign with a 2-2 home draw against Toronto FC on Wednesday evening.
In yet another entertaining contest between both clubs, two goals by Eduardo Sebrango secured a point for the USL First Division outfit in the their final game of the competition at Swangard Stadium, with the Whitecaps striker needing to score late on in the game after the Major League Soccer club overturned a one-goal deficit with second half strikes from Maurice Edu and Rohan Ricketts.
Though the result eliminates the Whitecaps from winning the inaugural Voyageurs Cup title as tournament winners, it leaves TFC needing a win at home to leaders Montreal Impact in the competition's final game on July 22 to secure the championship and Canada's lone place in the brand-new CONCACAF Champions League.
