It will be an all-Vancouver Metro Soccer League showdown in the under-21 men’s Province Cup final.
EDC FC Burnaby earned a spot against league champion Guildford FC with a 1-0 victory in overtime over the Mid Isle Highlanders in Ladysmith on Sunday.
Geordie Penman found the back of the net in the first period of extra time, beating a couple of defenders inside the 18-yard box and then slotting the game-winner into the bottom corner of the goal.
Burnaby keeper Juggi Dosanjh saved a possible shootout in the second OT session, tipping the ball over the bar late with a superb save in extra time.
EDC outchanced Mid Isle in regulation time. Jason Santiago was set up for two good chances in the opening half and a third in the latter period.
Duncan Penman also hit a crossbar in OT.
“It was exciting,” said EDC Burnaby coach John Penman. “I thought we outchanced them by quite a bit.”
The two teams had a lot of history between them this season.
Guildford won the league title with a 17-2-1 record, while one of its only two regular season losses was to third-place EDC.
A third 2-0 loss to Guildford was also at the hands of Burnaby in the league cup final.
“(Guildford) finished first in the league, so it should be a good game,” said Penman.
EDC Burnaby and Guildford kickoff at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West Field 1, beginning at 10:30 a.m.
