Pacific FC opened the 2023 Canadian Premier League season with a 1-0 victory over new neighbours Vancouver FC at Starlight Stadium in Victoria Saturday.
A near capacity crowd, including dozens of away fans, witnessed the first-ever meeting of the new provincial rivals — Vancouver FC is the CPL’s latest expansion club contesting it’s first season this year.
It took 81 minutes for Manny Aparicio to score the goal that earned the hosts their first three points of the year. But it was the result Pacific FC deserved on merit.
