Next up for PFC is Canadian Championship game Wednesday against Rovers
Sean Melvin stepped in for the ailing Emil Gazdov to record PFC’s third consecutive clean sheet to start the Canadian Premier League season in a scoreless draw Sunday afternoon in Calgary against Cavalry FC.
Melvin has national team experience and was called up to the Canada pre-camp ahead of a friendly set against Iceland in 2016. He earned his only cap in an almost surreal game in a 2017 win against Bermuda. Melvin went into the game in the second half as an injury replacement for former PFC and current Vancouver FC goalkeeper Callum Irving, only for Melvin also to be injured, and replaced in goal by defender and fellow Victorian Adam Straith.
“Big credit to Sean Melvin. We have full trust and confidence in Sean to step up,” said PFC head coach James Merriman. “It was an amazing crowd today and we were disappointed not to win our home opener,” said Carducci, who played 15 games combined for Canada in U-17, U-20 and U-23.It was about as good as a scoreless draw can be with both Carducci and Melvin having to be alert, although the hosts had the run of play for the most part. Cavalry FC had a goal at 90 minutes disallowed due to an off-side call.
