Vancouver FC got off to a good start on on Sunday, June 11 against Cavalry FC in Calgary, but couldn鈥檛 hold off the rival team鈥檚 offence.

Shaan Hundal scored in the first four minutes, getting past Cavalry FC鈥檚 Marco Carducci to get the 91原创-based pro soccer team a 1-0 lead . In the process, Hundal reclaimed the Canadian Premier League scoring lead with his fifth of the season.

However, it would be the only goal by Vancouver at Calgary鈥檚 ATCO Field on Sunday, June 11, as Cavalry responded with three goals, all within the first 28 minutes of the game.

鈥淲e probed, we pushed, we switched the ball, and what we were trying to do was be patient, to then attack with the pace that we had, and when we did have it, it was excellent to see,鈥� said Cavalry head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. 鈥淎nd that鈥檚 how we want to attack when we do get space. We want to overload them with dynamism.鈥�

Cavalry remains undefeated at ATCO Field, with the most home points and goals (nine of each) in the league.

With the loss, Vancouver FC are now winless in seven matches, and drop to the bottom of the Canadian Premier League standings.

Vancouver FC head coach Afshin Ghotbi wasn鈥檛 happy with his defence.

鈥淲e are not good enough to defend with seven players or six players, we only have a chance when all 11 players are committed and are doing their role within a defensive structure,鈥� he said after the match.

鈥淚 think when you have so many inexperienced players that are first-year professionals, and some of them are still teenagers, it is difficult to bring the consistency you need as a professional day in and day out,鈥� Ghotbi commented. 鈥淚 also think that you almost cannot cheat time and cheat experience, you need to have these experiences and you need time to digest all these events that are going on around you.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 hoping that we keep learning and these lessons will help us become the team that we need to be to get into the playoffs,鈥� he added.
