You might remember April 20th, 2018 for the Vancouver Whitecaps 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Sporting Kansas City, which saw both Yordy Reyna and Efrain Juarez sent off. However, what you might not remember from that match is that it was the first this season where Jake Nerwinski was not starting at right (wing)back.
Heading into the eighth match of the season, in Kansas City, the sophomore had started every match thus far. On the surface, it appeared to simply be a situation of rotating players. Jake Nerwinski was left back in Vancouver to rest up for the Caps next match against Salt Lake City.
