Weather:  Sunny 17 degrees

Vancouver FC continues to be undefeated after a convincing 2-0 win over the still-winless Halifax Wanderers. Vancouver began the game by attacking quickly and nearly scoring in the first 30 seconds after a sloppy attempted clearing header by the Halifax defender.

Vancouver FC opened the scoring in the 17^th minute after Rocco Romeo pounced on a loose ball after the Halifax keeper managed to prevent a near own goal. The visitors’ defenders were struggling in the 1^st half to deal with Vancouver’s thrusts forward, and it was only a matter of time before the Eagles capitalized.

Halifax almost equalized on a quick counterattack in the 47^th minute when Aiden Daniels chipped a ball from 25 meters that just went over the cross bar.

In the 52^nd minute, more sloppiness along the Halifax backline gave Moses Dyer a partial breakaway, he beat the goalie only to hit the right post, but the rebound came straight to Alejandro Díaz, who had an easy tap in to make the score 2-0.

Moses Dyer had a second breakaway in the 57^th minute but was stopped by Halifax goalie Yann Fillion.

In the 94^th minute, Halifax had one final chance to get on the scoreboard with a shot off the cross bar. Zachary Fernandez was then unable to capitalize on the rebound as his shot narrowly missed the goal.

Vancouver FC’s next game is on April 23^rd when they play their first road game against Cavalry FC in the Canadian Championship.
