Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC played to a 1-1 draw Wednesday at Vancouver's Bell Pitch at Empire Field in Game 1 of the 2011 Nutrilite Canadian Championship final series as Eric Hassli and Maicon Santos scored goals for their respective teams.
Game 2 of the series will be next Wednesday at Toronto's BMO Field with the winner taking Canada's lone berth in the 2011-12 CONCACAF Champions League.
That team will advance to Preliminary Round play and will face either Real Esteli or Walter Ferreri, both from Nicaragua, in a two-game playoff with Game 1 set for between July 26-28 and Game 2 set for between August 24.
The winner of that series joins the 16-team Group Stage field in Group D against Mexico's Monterrey, Guatemala's Comunicaciones and the winner of another Preliminary Round series between MLS' Seattle Sounders and Panama's San Francisco in the six-round phase of the competition.
