The Coquitlam Metro-Ford Internazionale had to play catchup for the first time this season but in the end still managed to defeat Vancouver FC 3-2.
After Michael Cho scored one for Coquitlam, Vancouver came back and scored before the end of the first half and took the lead with another goal early in the second.
But Internazionale’s defence stayed strong led by Luciano Letteri, who thwarted several Vancouver opportunities along with partner Mauro De Francesco. Goalie Tyson Brauer also made several timely saves in goal.
Eventually, the momentum began to change when Jonathon Grimason tied things up followed by a second goal from Cho to win the match 3-2.
