POST-GAME ANALYSIS: Pacific FC edge past TSS Rovers on penalties | TELUS Canadian Championship

Pacific FC survived by the skin of their teeth against TSS Rovers FC in this 2024 TELUS Canadian Championship clash, beating their League1 BC opponents in a penalty shootout after clawing back from 1-0 down with a last-kick-of-the-game equalizer.

A hard-fought first half saw the two west coast sides level at 0-0 heading into the midway mark of this match, but a 75th-minute go-ahead by TSS Rovers' Michael Hennessy stunned the home side and brought back memories of their famous win over Valour FC in the 2023 edition of this tournament.

And, as the minutes counted down, that idea of a repeat 'cupset' become more and more real, with Pacific knocking but failing to find the back of the net as the match approached full-time. But for a 96+ minute equalizer by Reon Moore to the delight of the Starlight Stadium faithful dragged life back into this match, and the two sides would head to the penalty spot to decide this one.

After seven rounds of penalties, it was Josh Heard on his 100th match for club that stepped up and buried the final effort, sealing the result and booking a date with Atlético Ottawa in the tournament quarter-finals.
