There are a pair of cup finals in North America this evening as the US Open Cup and the Canadian Championship have arrived at their crescendos. Here is what has gone down so far.
Vancouver secured the cup for the third straight season after penalty shootout heroics from backup keeper Isaac Boehmer.
The visitors dominated the ball from the off, and they were rewarded for their efforts when Richie Laryea was taken down in the box to earn Toronto a chance from the penalty-spot.
But the attempt from 12 yards from Federico Bernardeschi was poor, allowing Isaac Boehmer to come up huge with a save.
Quality attacking moves were few and far between as neither side seemed all too keen to make the one fatal mistake and lose the final.
The Whitecaps were forced to fend off a flurry of late Toronto corners, but the visitors could not sneak home the winner in the dying moments.
In penalties however, the winner was finally decided when Vancouver keeper Isaac Boehmer put on a hero’s display, saving two Toronto spot-kicks and win his side the trophy.
