Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson makes two personnel changes to his starting XI that won 3-2 against Philadelphia Union this past weekend. Towering centre back Kendall Waston replaces Jordan Smith as Tim Parker moves to right back and Canadian Russell Teibert replaces Nicolás Mezquida in midfield.
Today’s lineup has seven changes from last week’s first leg in Toronto. Only Waston, Bolaños, Morales and Teibert started both matches. Teibert will be making 17th Canadian Championship appearance. He became the tournament’s all-time appearances leader last week.
This will be David Ousted’s first appearance of the 2016 Amway Canadian Championship.
The 'Caps need to win by at least two goals to win the Voyageurs Cup after a 1-0 loss in the first leg. A 1-0 'Caps win would send the match to extra time and penalties if needed.
