Despite advancing to the semifinals, Vancouver Whitecaps coach Vanni Sartini expressed disappointment with his team’s 1-0 loss to Cavalry FC on Tuesday. After securing an away victory in the first leg, the Whitecaps’ lackluster performance in the second match resulted in an own goal and a loss. Sartini criticized the team’s casual attitude, acknowledging that a tiebreaker based on penalty kicks might have been more appropriate given the Whitecaps’ performance. Cavalry FC celebrated their second win at BC Place against an MLS team, with coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. praising defender Daan Klomp as their best player. The Whitecaps now prepare for the semifinal round of the Canadian Championship, aiming for their third consecutive title.
