VANCOUVER, BC – In the build-up to Saturday’s match, Carl Robinson said his young group needed to be up for a fight against the defending champion Portland Timbers (3W-3L-3D).
Safe to say the message was received. Loud and clear.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC (4W-5L-2D) put in a dominating performance in a 2-1 victory over their Cascadia rivals on Saturday afternoon in front of a sold-out crowd of 22,120 at BC Place.
After Nat Borchers opened the scoring for Portland in the 34th minute, the ‘Caps scored twice in the second half to complete their first comeback win since September 2014.
