Vancouver FC coach Martin Nash\u2019s was sounding upbeat about the team\u2019s performance prior to Saturday\u2019s game against Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to grind out some results, which is nice,\u201d Nash said. \u201cYeah, we\u2019ve won a couple by big scores, but we\u2019ve also grinded some wins out. I feel that we\u2019re becoming another team that can win dirty; we can win ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n
They were victorious, again, with Vancouver FC taking down Atl\u00e9tico Ottawa 3-1 at the Stadium at Langley Events Centre.<\/p>\n

VFC had the ball inside Ottawa\u2019s net after just seven minutes, Mohamed Amissi managing to roof a shot into the near post of the net with his left foot.<\/p>\n
Seven minutes after that, on a penalty shot, it was Lys Mousset finding the bottom left corner to put his team up 2-0. <\/p>\n
After a Vancouver goal was ruled out because of a foul, the Eagles Jean-Aniel Assi then scored to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n
Ottawa\u2019s only goal came from Tim Arnaud.<\/p>\n
VFC\u2019s Damiano Pecile was named CPLSoccer.com Player of the Match, after picking up a goal and an assist generating three shots, creating two chances, completing 35 out of 40 passes, and completed one dribble, made six passes into the final third and completed six out of nine long balls offensively, while also making one tackle, one interception and winning two out of three duels defensively. <\/p>\n
