VANCOUVER — Pacific FC has been here before.

Heading into the Canadian Championship semifinal, the Canadian Premier League club is the underdog, set to take on Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps in a two-game series starting in Langford, B.C., on Wednesday.

The tournament’s other semifinal will see MLS side Toronto FC face CPL’s Forge FC.

It’s no secret that Pacific’s resources are a fraction of what the Whitecaps have on hand, but the results still come from what happens on the field, said head coach James Merriman.
