Julian Gressel scored 14 minutes in and the Vancouver Whitecaps never looked back, punching a ticket to the Canadian Championship final with a 3-0 win over Pacific FC in Langford, B.C. The game was, however, marred by a scary injury.
Ali Ahmed scored three minutes after Gressel, and striker Simon Becher iced the game in the 78th minute. A few minutes after Ahmed scored, he was stretchered off the field after a tackle by Pacific FC’s Cedric Toussaint.
Medical officials, as well as a stretcher and vehicle, were brought onto the field to transport him off. The 22-year-old received medical attention on the field for more than 15 minutes.
The Whitecaps posted to social media that Ahmed was conscious and receiving treatment at a local hospital.
The Whitecaps will get to defend their title against Montreal in the final after defeating Toronto FC last year. CF Montreal will play in their third Canadian Championship final in five years after beating Forge FC 2-0 at Stade Saputo.

Ariel Lassiter and Sunusi Ibrahim scored the goals that ensure that Montreal beat Forge in the tournament for the third consecutive year.
Montreal will now have to wait until early June for the final, where it will travel to British Columbia to face the Whitecaps.
