Saturday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps fell victim to a second-half comeback from Real Salt Lake losing by a final score of 2-1.
It was truly a tale of two halves for Vancouver as they played some impressive possession football inside the opening 40 minutes, but failed to make any significant adjustments as the match evolved. Ultimately, the Whitecaps were exposed by some poorly timed defensive miscues and paid the price for this by walking away with zero points from their home opener. Notably, this was the first time the Whitecaps had lost a match they were leading at halftime since 2021.
