Vancouver Whitecaps FC will host defending champions Toronto FC in the first leg of the final of the Amway Canadian Championship at 19.00 PT on Wednesday 16 May at BC Place in Vancouver, BC.
Toronto earned the right to defend its title for a fourth consecutive season by mustering up a 2-0 win over Impact Montréal in the second leg of the semi-final between the two teams.
After battling Montréal to a 0-0 away draw on 2 May, Toronto returned to BMO Field and fought their way to a two goal victory despite playing the majority of the match with only 10 men after defender Richard Eckersley was sent off in the first half.
Whitecaps FC powered past FC Edmonton by a score of 5-1 over two legs to reach the final where they will look to avenge a narrow loss to Toronto in the 2011 Championship Final.
The ‘Caps picked up a 2-0 victory on the road in Edmonton to open this year’s competition before overcoming a nervy start in the second leg to cruise to a 3-1 victory over the ‘Eddies back in Vancouver.
The second leg of the Championship final is set for 20.00 ET / 17.00 PT on 23 May at BMO Field in Toronto.
The winner of the 2012 Amway Canadian Championship will receive the Voyageurs Cup, the most prestigious trophy in Canadian club football.
The winning team will also go on to represent Canada in the 2012-2013 CONCACAF Champions League.
