Dramatic draw leaves Vancouver FC disappointed
A stoppage-time equalizer capped a match with multiple lead changes and left both Canadian Premier League sides with one point.
Vancouver FC and Inter Toronto played a wild 3-3 draw in the Canadian Premier League on Wednesday night in Langley, with multiple lead changes leaving both teams without a crucial victory.
After Vancouver took an early lead through Fullback Morey Doner, Inter Toronto responded with goals from Ariel Almagro and Steffen Yeates in a wide-open first 45 minutes defined by turnovers and open space.
Kian Proctor and Luis Toomey scored to keep Vancouver in the match, while Tomasz Skublak equalized late; Callum Irving secured a critical 87th-minute penalty save against Ollie Bassett to preserve the draw.
Head coach Martin Nash described the team's performance as "frustrating," citing a 35 to 40 minute lapse as "not good enough." Despite the draw, the VFC Eagles maintained their eight-point lead over Inter Toronto.
On Saturday, Sept. 26, Vancouver finishes a busy week by hosting Forge at The Stadium at Langley Events Centre with a 4 p.m. start, providing quick turnaround after the midweek draw.
