Victor Wanyama featured for 67 minutes as his club, CF Montreal, suffered a Canadian Cup final heartache on Thursday morning, going down 2-1 in the hands of Vancouver Whitecaps at the BC Place Stadium.Wanyama and other key Montreal players had been rested for last Sunday’s league match against Philadelphia Union, which they lost 3-0, in order to keep them fresh for the final, but it did not amount to much as two quick goals in the second-half saw them go down in the final.##NAJAVA_MECA_7306216##The first half was largely even, and it was no surprise that it ended in a barren draw, with a tense second half to follow in which Vancouver finally emerged victorious.Brian White opened the scoring in the 57th minute for Vancouver before Ryan Gauld made it 2-0 from the penalty spot in the 65th minute to complicate matters for Hernan Losada’s men.
