Hahaha Canadaβs Northern Super League has postponed a semi-final match due to snow and now they are delaying the final mid-match due to lightning (both games in Toronto).
Vancouver stands a good chance of winning next seasonβs bid to host the final π

AFC Toronto is absolutely bossing Vancouver Rise.
I believe we are witnessing the birth of a Northern Super League rivalry between Vancouver and Toronto that will live for years to come.
Sometimes sports rivalries follow traditions from other leagues and can be based on geography (either neighbouring cities or East vs West Canada) but in this case it has built up organically.
This #NSL Final could lead to some revenge next season and Iβm here for it π
The NWSL has shown how hard it is to win both the league and the playoff final and the Northern Super League is following that trend.
AFC Toronto will be gutted by this loss when they dominated until that 53β own goal from a corner. My heart hurts for them but some decision-making errors killed their momentum beyond that equaling goal.
Holly Ward had a fantastic season for the Vancouver Rise and her winning goal matched her grit and precision.
Vancouverβs supporter group travelled across the country to cheer them on a cold rainy day.
Congrats to Vancouver Rise for being on AFC Torontoβs hit list for next season π
