Vancouver FC edged Cavalry FC 1-0 at home, thanks to a second-half strike from Lys Mousset. The visitors had more total shots (14 to 11) and created two big chances, but Vancouver were more clinical, putting five efforts on target to Cavalry's two.
The only goal came in the 59th minute when Mousset found the net to make it 1-0. Cavalry's task became harder just before the break when Eryk Kobza was shown a second yellow card in the 42nd minute, reducing them to ten men for the entire second half.
Despite having 56% possession and completing more passes, Vancouver relied on Mousset's decisive finish and two saves from their goalkeeper to hold on. Cavalry missed both of their big chances and could not find a way back, leaving Vancouver to celebrate a gritty win.
