Vancouver Whitecaps v Toronto FC – A Voyageurs Cup Story In Pictures
To quote the words of a Welsh legend:
“It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down
It’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown”
The words of Bonnie Tyler there from 1977. Seem very apt today for Whitecaps fans, players and their Welsh coach.
Nicolas Mezquida and Tim Parker gave Vancouver Whitecaps a fine victory over Toronto FC at BC Place on Wednesday night in the Canadian Championship final second leg.
AFTN photographer Tom Ewasiuk was there to capture all the action before, during and after the game and here’s his “Story In Pictures”, with a full Flickr slideshow at the end.

Curva’s Champions of Canada tifo
The match winners
Scarves up Southsiders
Carl Robinson clearly disgusted by shite haircuts
Christian Bolanos fires one over in the first half
Then Matias Laba tests Alex Bono with a fierce shot just before the half
Two minutes into the second half, substitute Nicolas Mezquida gets his head on a cross
And heads home the opening goal of the night
Andrew Jacobson nearly makes it two but just can’t connect at the back post
But in the 67th minute Tim Parker shows fantastic control in the box when he brings down a Matias Laba dipping pass
And coolly slots past Bono to double the Whitecaps lead
Shock and awe
Goalscorers united
Blas Perez nearly makes it three in stoppage time but sees his effort agonisingly crash off the left post
