Valour FC hosted Pacific FC at IG Field on Sunday afternoon, and came away with an important 1-0 victory as they chase a playoff spot.
Rocco Romeo’s goal was the difference for his team, as the Valour centre-back fired his team into the lead with a shot from close range. It was the one and only time the home side were able to get one past Callum Irving in the latest standout performance from the Pacific goalkeeper.
Here are some sights and sounds from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Set piece magic?
And a HUGE goal for @ValourFootball as Rocco Romeo puts them up 1-0 against @Pacificfccpl
