Pacific FC beat Valour FC 2-1 to move top of the Canadian Premier League table on Vancouver Island Wednesday.
The game started with the Victoria club carrying an edge in the play for the first half, but Antonio Rocco Romeo scored from a corner to give the visitors the lead in the 41st minute.
Loading ...The second half continued with Pacific FC pressing and eventually finding an equalizer from a well-placed strike from outside the 18 yard box by centre back Lukas MacNaughton in the 66th minute.
Victoria went down to 10 men in the 76th minute when their keeper handled the ball outside of the box. But the loss of a man did not slow Pacific down. And they found a late winner when Pacific FC’s star player Marco Bustos headed home a cross in the 87th minute to take all three points.
