Nutrilite Canadian Championship: Whitcaps and TFC Take Semifinal Openers On Road

The Nutrilite Canadian Championship got underway with the opening matches of the two semifinal-round series on Wednesday.


At Montreal:


Terry Dunfield scored the only goal of the match at 67 minutes as the Vancouver Whitecaps (MLS) took the opening game of their two-game semifinal series 1-0 on the road over the Montreal Impact (NASL).


At Edmonton, Alberta:


Maicon Santos scored twice (35', 61') as Toronto FC (MLS) manhandled hosts FC Edmonton (NASL) 3-0 in game one of their two-match series.


The two series will conclude at Vancouver and Toronto with the winners advancing to the two-game final, with the tournament winner moving on to the preliminary round for a group-stage berth in next season's CONCACAF Champions League.
