NEW: The #CanMNT were great for part of the 3-2 win in Guatemala, but also learned plenty in their first Central American away match since 2022.

Where do things go from here with Davies, too?

The Victoria Vikes are in the U Sports men's soccer final on home soil, just as they did in 2011 and get a GK assist on the winner.

A 1-0 extra-time win over UBC tonight. The Vikes have played 240 minutes over the last two days.

They meet Montreal in Sunday's final, a matchup that has never happened.

The U Sports soccer championships date back to 1972.

Both the men's and women's finals this Sunday mark the first time these matchups have ever happened. Fairly wild in a sport where the best teams usually just get better.

W: TWU v Guelph - 1st meeting
M: Victoria v Montreal

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

The Guelph Gryphons are off to the U Sports Women's Soccer Final for the first time in program history and set up a clash with the TWU Spartans.

One of the wildest editions of the tournament to predict, Sunday marks the first time these two teams will ever meet.

Mauro Biello on the reason behind Jesse Marsch's red card.

"That's a good question, we really don't know. He was speaking to the fourth official."

Mauro Biello addressing the media for the #CanMNT after Jesse Marsch's red card.

"With Alphonso Davies, we're evaluating the situation, and we'll have more information tomorrow."

He says it's a "lower body injury."

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

@SmokeCityFC1 Yea that was bad

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

The most commanding half the #CanMNT has played under Jesse Marsch, and it's basically put this tie to bed after 45 minutes.

- Millar and Buchanan have been electric
- David's playmaking has been the key to transition
- LDF and Waterman are strong at the back
- Clinical finishing to be 3-0 up.

@robck27 tiebreaker

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

Gutemala goal. A deflection past Crépeau.

3-2, and they're very much in this tie.

#CanMNT feeling grateful that the away goals rule is in this matchup.

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

#CanMNT WIN 3-2 v Guatemala

Dominant first half with stellar play from Jonathan David, Tani Oluwaeyi and Liam Millar, but a BRUTAL second half.

3 away goals is solid, though, in a first Central American away day since 2022 (stat shocked me too).

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

Liam Millar has been so fun to watch tonight.

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

Red card for Jesse Marsch.

His second straight Nations League game with a sending-off, after earning a red card in the 2025 Nations League third-place game against the #USMNT.

No idea what happened.

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

A ball across the top catches out Jovan Ivanisevic and Ralph Priso and leads to Guatemala's first goal of the night.

Brings the crowd back into this one.

Bit of an odd bounce to spin behind Crépeau.

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

Jovan Ivanisevic comes into the game for Joel Waterman.

Love to get the 21-year-old some competitive minutes in this enviroment.

He'll have seen quite a lot playing in Concacaf away days and the Bosnian league.

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

Guatemala goal, but the goal was called back for offside.

Inches, though, wouldn't have been offside in the #CanPL.
