No manager, no problem: Caps smash Real Salt Lake 4-1
Anne-Marie Sorvin-USA TODAY Sports The Caps got the post-Marc Dos Santos era underway Sunday night with a bang, battering RSL 4-1 at BC Place and securing their third straight win to maintain a nine-match unbeaten run.
Vinni Sartini made his mark quickly as interim manager, electing to change formations and reverting to the good ole’ Christmas tree style, a 4-3-2-1 with a makeshift backline involving Florian Jungwirth, who made his first Whitecaps’ start, and Bruno Gaspar (who made his first start in awhile). Ryan Gauld also made his full league debut.
