Saturday night in Utah, the Vancouver Whitecaps scored another late second-half goal to earn themselves a 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake.
Unlike many of Vancouver’s late comebacks this season, Julian Gressel’s glancing header only emphasized what was a very good road performance for Vancouver, especially considering it was their third match over a seven day stretch. Oftentimes this year Vancouver has earned a late result against the run of play, but this did not feel like the case in Utah.
The Whitecaps entered the match with a clear identity and their high line and diligent pressing was particularly notable throughout the first half.
