Unfortunate result, but hard to argue that Vancouver didn't deserve it over two legs. The first half was pretty brutal. Much better second half, and I think that if there was extra time, Cavalry would've found a late winner.
It was a better crowd than I expected, given the factors discussed here before the match. And it probably looked even worse on TV because myself and many others moved up to find some shade in the first half.
Aside from the result, it was actually a reasonably entertaining match. Frustrating though, as you could see the end result coming from a mile away, even as an improved second half tried to convince me otherwise. I just knew that if this went to penalties, Vancouver would win it.
Ah well - just one of those nights. Onward!
