For 64 minutes on Tuesday night, Vancouver Whitecaps FC put up a valiant defensive effort. The Caps managed to keep Mexican heavyweights Tigres UANL off the scoresheet for more than an hour, in front of 31,000 noisy fans at the Estadio Universitario. In the end, however, the Mexican side’s incessant pressure won out. Two goals, from Kendall Waston into his own net and Eduardo Vargas, leave the Whitecaps with a mountain to climb on April 5th at BC Place.
To get the obvious out of the way, Tigres are ridiculously good. Despite currently sitting 12th in the Liga MX, the Mexicans dominated the match.
