VANCOUVER (CP) – Calgary’s Cavalry FC pulled off an upset Wednesday night, beating the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 to advance to the Canadian Championship semifinals.
Cavalry are the only Canadian Premier League team to take out a Major League Soccer squad in the tournament.
Jordan Brown and Dominick Zator each scored for Calgary, and Hwang Inbeom put away Vancouver’s lone goal.
Goalie Marco Carducci stopped two of three on-target shots for the Cavalry. Vancouver ‘keeper Maxime Crepeau had one save.
The loss extends the Whitecaps’ dismal winless stretch to 10 games across all competition, including five straight losses in MLS.
Earlier this month, they battled Calgary to a scoreless draw in the first leg of the qualifying round.
