Nutrilite Canadian Championship for Voyageurs Cup: Toronto FC Handles 10-Man FC Edmonton
Toronto FC is the three-time reigning champion of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship. Although it hasn't always been easy, they've managed to beat their lower-division rivals enough to remain on top. Facing the NASL's FC Edmonton, the newest addition to the tournament, they once again looked like the better team in winning 3-0. Of course, it should be said that Edmonton acquitted themselves well while playing a man down for more than an hour. Waking the Red, SB Nation's Toronto FC blog, put it this way:
Alright, that’s a little bit over the top, as ‘the Monties’ looked dangerous and certainly held their own until Toronto FC went 2-0 up early in the second half, but in the end TFC did what they should have done, and especially after Edmonton were reduced to ten men in the first half. Up until then, it had been a fairly even first half, and even after the red card to Shaun Saiko, FC Edmonton were giving as good as they got and had a few chances. Eventually though, TFC’s experience, talent and numerical advantage took their toll and they took control, took advantage of some Edmonton mistakes and ruthlessly ground out a 3-0 win.
