Alexandre Gangué-Ruzic then joins the show to break down Pacific's loss on penalties to York their midweek Canadian Championship clash (25:17) as well as how York might stack up against the Vancouver Whitecaps in the semifinal (30:20). Mitchell and Charlie then go on to recap the other three quarterfinal matchups -- Cavalry's narrow shootout loss to the Whitecaps (33:11), HFX Wanderers FC's close-fought defeat at home against Toronto FC (35:33), and Forge's disappointing loss on the road at CF Montréal (38:10).
Lastly, it's a full-on preview of the upcoming 2020 Canadian Championship final, in which Toronto FC will head to Tim Hortons Field to take on Forge.
