RSL went down 1-0 to Vancouver, tied things up, and gave up an unnecessary penalty at the death — and that’s how RSL lost what became a somewhat upsetting 2-1 loss to the Whitecaps. How’d we get there? Let’s talk.
- GOAL, Vancouver 1-0 RSL — 32’ RSL fell asleep on a long throw-in, and Zac MacMath’s goal was left largely unprotected as Vancouver knocked a ball in. Sergio Cordova challenged weakly for a defensive header, and defender Ranko Veselinovic tapped the ball in following a smart run past Justen Glad.
- 52’ Cody Cropper made what might have either been a wonder-save or a near-save — with the ball maybe going over the line — preventing a Sergio Cordova goal from a very nice header.
