A dialed-in LA Galaxy squad missing their top stars clawed, scraped and eventually held on for a scoreless 0-0 draw Saturday night at BC Place.
If Carl Robinson’s full-strength Whitecaps side thought they would have their way with a lineup missing Romain Alessandrini, Ola Kamara, Ashley Cole and the dos Santos brothers among others, Sigi Schmid had a trick up his sleeve. The Galaxy boss deployed a 3-5-2 with No. 2 SuperDraft pick Tomas Hilliard-Arce earning his first MLS start and Emmanuel Boateng moving up top alongside Ariel Lassiter.
