Dwayne De Rosario led them to a corner of the stadium filled with fans who had braved a downpour, fans who were soaked and singing for the privilege of watching De Rosario hoist the Voyageurs Cup. Toronto FC celebrated its second straight Canadian club championship after a 90-minute coronation under stormy skies, claiming the Cup after slogging through the rain for a scoreless draw with the Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday night. Toronto had secured the Nutrilite Canadian Championship a week before the first kick, and coasted into the final minutes of the game under the serenade of its loyal fans. "Its a great feeling," De Rosario said. "Everyone was anticipating that last whistle. And, finally, it came, and we were able to celebrate with the fans." Toronto finished the three-team tournament with two wins, no losses and two draws, ahead of Vancouver (0-0-4) and the Montreal Impact (0-2-2). Montreal won the event when it was held for the first time two years ago, followed by Torontos win last year. As a reward, Toronto advances as the Canadian qualifier to the CONCACAF Champions League, where two dozen North American, Central American and Caribbean clubs compete for the chance to represent the region in the FIFA Club World Cup. Toronto is set to host Club Deportivo Motagua, a Honduran team, in the last week of July, with the return leg of the preliminary round scheduled the following week in Honduras. Toronto clinched the title without having to lace a single cleat last week. Vancouver tied Montreal in the tournaments penultimate game, depriving the Whitecaps their chance to remain within striking distance of Toronto in first place. The resulting cushion prompted Toronto coach Predrag (Preki) Radosavljevic to insert no fewer than three teenagers into active duty on Wednesday. The team called up a handful of players from its academy, and started 17-year-old defender Doneil Henry alongside 18-year-old forwards Allando Matheson and Fuad Ibrahim. "It was great to see the academy kids out there," Toronto fforward Chad Barrett said. Clay Matthews Womens Jersey. "I thought they all did amazing, which definitely shows that the academy is working, and is promising for the future." Even Preki took the night off, leaving assistant Leo Percovich to babysit the young roster through a heavy downpour. It fell ferociously before the game, forcing two stadium workers to clear a pond between the tunnel and the playing field before the teams began their pre-game warm-ups. They could not dry the field, though, which almost certainly led to the unfortunate injury Toronto defender Joseph Nane suffered before the game was four minutes old. The 23-year-old fell awkwardly while tracking the play in his own end and jammed his arm into the turf, leaving the game with a separated right shoulder. The rain eased as the first half progressed, in front of acres of understandably empty seats at the lakefront stadium. Attendance at BMO Field was announced as 15,176. And after a while, the play on the field seemed to reflect the foul weather, with Whitecaps forward Marcus Haber earning a red card for a high tackle on Henry, the teenaged Toronto defender. Haber nailed Henry in the shin with the studs of his right cleat, and his sending-off set the tone for the rest of the first half. Three cautions were issued before halftime -- including two for reckless fouls -- as both teams sought a path through the soggy field. "Theres never a game that doesnt mean anything, all games mean something," Henry said. "You always want to win. You have to get that passion and desire to win all games." Toronto removed even more of its veteran presence in the second half, substituting Julian de Guzman for academy player Nicholas Lindsay. De Rosario was called off the bench in the 66th minute, but could not crack the deadlock against the Whitecaps, who are set to join MLS next season. "They have great support here, and its a pleasure to come play here," Whitecaps veteran Martin Nash said. "The atmosphere is great and, hopefully, we can get that in Vancouver. I think theres a good chance we will, but you never know until it happens, right?" ' ' '
