Toronto FC will face the winner of the semi-final between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Pacific FC
Forge FC held a 2-1 aggregate lead after winning the first leg at Tim Hortons Field on July 10. That meant to win the semi-final TFC needed a clean sheet victory or win by at least two goals if Hamilton’s Canadian Premier League club scored an away goal at Toronto’s BMO Field.The Whitecaps held a 1-0 lead on aggregate heading into Tuesday’s second leg between the two West Coast teams.
Kwasi Poku and Béni Badibanga scored for Forge in the semi-final’s opening leg in Hamilton before substitute Prince Owusu got a late away goal for TFC. Poku, from Brampton, Ont., was sent to Belgian side RWD Molenbeek on Aug. 21 for a CPL-record transfer fee.Toronto FC pressed from the outset, working to not just win the match but take the semi-final’s lead on aggregate. The Reds possessed the ball 69 per cent of the first half and were especially aggressive in the first 10 minutes of play.
Defender Daniel Parra fired a chest-high shot in on the ensuing throw in for Forge’s first shot on target of the match. That opened play up for both sides, with TFC almost taking a commanding two-goal lead in the 64th minute.
