Cann's Corner: Three takeaways from Union vs. Vancouver
A dominant showing from Philadelphia Union keeps the club in the middle of the Eastern Conference playoff hunt. Here are the key takeaways from Saturday’s match.
Space invaders
Vancouver ceded most of the pitch to the Union, and the home side used it well. Borek Dockal is blossoming as he builds an understanding with his teammates and continues to tear open any defense that leaves space between its lines. The Whitecaps attack has been sizzling recently, but with Dockal, Ale Bedoya, and Warren Creavalle running the show, the visitors’ wingers were too busy defending to break out effectively.
Not sharing the shots
The Whitecaps had zero shots on frame, and both shots they did take were blocked.
