A new chapter in the history books of the Canadian Championship was written on hallowed Canadian soccer ground.
Playing under the lights of Swangard Stadium, a modest ground dripping with history of its own, Burnaby's semi-pro League1 B.C. outfit TSS Rovers triumphed over Canadian Premier League side Valour FC 3-1 to advance to the quarter-finals of the Battle of the North.
It's a feat that no semi-pro team has ever accomplished in this competition before.
A pair of goals by former CPL-er Matteo Polisi, captaining the champions of L1BC, sandwiched around an Ivan Mejia second, proved the difference on the night, despite an Anthony Novak penalty threatening - or, perhaps, merely teasing - the idea of a comeback late in this hard-fought fight.
Yet, when the final whistle blew, it was head coach Will Cromack's underdogs who celebrated a miracle story, a dream come true, as Canada men's national team manager John Herdman watched on (and likely cheered on, too).
Cup competitions that pit teams from different leagues across the world are special because of nights like this. The magic of the cup is a phenomenon experienced around the world of football.
It's why those associated with the Canadian Premier League celebrate the result, too.
Yes, Valour FC will now lick their wounds. But, as Kristian Jack put it, we must protect, nurture, and celebrate these moments, too.
Congratulations to TSS Rovers - authors of a Canadian Championship legend. We're joined by Polisi and Cromack on our post-game show.

This is an epic moment for footy in Canada... This story will be told now for years to come... This is the kind of game that creates "foklore" within the Canadian soccer community... (I also called this victory yesterday for TSS Rovers)... Valour FC is struggling this season for all kinds of reasons right now. The night belonged to a bunch of sem-pro guys from Burnaby, BC who love the game and played their hearts out in such a Canadian way. What an awesome game. This is the kind of game the Canadian Championship needed...

"Valour FC is struggling this season for all kinds of reasons right now." They're top of the table in the league.

The hosts saying they haven't played since August isn't really true. Although they haven't played as TSS Rovers since last August, most of these players just finished their long fvsl/vmsl seasons that started last September.

What a night! I was at Swanguard. Last time I was there was to see the new CanMNT prospect Domenic Mobilio. Real grass, real weather, real community. Victory for Canadian grassroots soccer. Sort of wish there was promotion/relegation these guys would be moving up! I'm a new TSS fan! What a night!
