The LA Galaxy fought hard, but ultimately fell 4-2 to the Whitecaps Saturday night at BC Place in downtown Vancouver.
Clement Diop started once again in place of Brian Rowe and was immense in the early going, blanking Cristian Techera from point-blank range and preventing a sure goal.
But Diop’s glory was short lived. In the 19th minute Sheanon Williams switched the field to an open Cristian Techara just outside the 18-yard box, and when Diop came out to intercept the pass but failed to get there in time, Techera swiveled and passed the ball into an empty net.
