Vancouver Whitecaps FC and its home fans may be looking for some pay back against Montréal this Wednesday 5 May at Swangard Stadium. Vancouver was on the verge of winning the 2009 Nutrilite Canadian Championship last year when Impact Montréal gave up a one-goal lead in the final match against eventual champion Toronto FC. This Wednesday’s match will be the first Nutrilite Canadian Championship match between the two sides since last year.
The Canadian Soccer Association announced today that Impact Montréal forward Roberto Brown will serve a two-game suspension in the 2010 Nutrilite Canadian Championship. The suspension and a $1,500 fine was imposed for his conduct in the 28 April 2010 match between the Impact and Toronto FC.
A correction has been made to the record of the first goal scored on Match Day One of the 2010 Nutrilite Canadian Championship. The Toronto FC goal, scored in the 12th minute of the 28 April match, was in fact scored by Ty Harden, not Dwayne De Rosario.
