Cavalry FC narrowly lost to Major League Soccer’s Montreal Impact 1-0 in the second leg of their Canadian Championship semi final tie at sold-out ATCO Field at Spruce Meadows Wednesday night. The Impact won the two-game series 3-1 on aggregate, having won the first-leg 2-1 in Montreal a week ago.

Over 5,600 fans watched as the first-year Canadian Premier League club was ultimately unable overturn the first-leg deficit.

But Cavalry FC coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. saw positives in Wednesday’s efforts and his club’s cup run in general.

“I’m immensely proud of this group of players,” said Wheeldon Jr. following the match. “We talked about it in the locker room. We’re going to give everything we have. We’ve given everything we have.”

The Impact will now face Toronto FC in the two-legged final in September. Cavalry FC next return to Canadian Premier League action with a match against FC Edmonton at Spruce Meadows Friday at 7pm.
