VANCOUVER, BC – And that’s a wrap on 2017.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC saw their season come to an end on Thursday night with a 2-0 defeat to defending MLS Cup champions Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Semifinal.
It was a disappointing way to go out, there’s no doubt about that.
As Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic said following the match: “We felt like we sold ourselves a little bit short.” The ‘Caps believed they had a special group this season, one that could do some damage in the postseason. They sure got off to a good start, cruising to a 5-0 win over San Jose Earthquakes to earn the club’s first-ever victory in the MLS Cup Playoffs.
