The Vancouver Whitecaps started out their second-half of the MLS season on a positive note, winning 1-0 away to the LA Galaxy.
Despite it being noted repeatedly that the 2017 incarnation of the Galaxy have performed poorly at home. Such a designation could have been a horrific misnomer for the Whitecaps, seeing as how Vancouver held an all-time record of 1-9-1 when visiting the Galaxy, going into Wednesday’s match.
Instead, the Whitecaps secured the victory behind the benefit of solid defending, timely saves, and a well-struck (and a well-headed) free kick.
