The Vancouver Whitecaps managed a hard fought 2-1 triumph against the Portland Timbers. let’s have a look at how everyone got on.
There’s no getting past it, Marinovic robbed Portland of 3 points. He made eight saves many of which were quite difficult. His close range save on Alvas Powell and his free kick save on Diego Valeri stand out in particular. Marinovic also did a good job of keeping things calm while the Whitecaps were under immense pressure. There have been a few Whitecaps goalkeepers over the years who I could see crumbling under the pressure but Marinovic looked solid throughout.
