It was more of an adventure than the Caps (or their fans) wanted, but Vancouver earned a 1-0 win over FC Dallas at BC Place Saturday on the back of a vital Max Crepeau penalty save in stoppage time.
The late penalty, given after Patrick Metcalfe pulled at Jader Obrian on an aerial challenge, was FC Dallas’ main threat of the match. The Caps were unlucky that Brian White’s first half header was their lone goal of the match.
Vanni Sartini went with a galaxy brain take on the 5-3-2, with Jake Nerwinski slotting in as a centerback and Bruno Gaspar and Cristian Dajome at wingback.
