Playoff Bound: Vancouver Whitecaps Finish Strong on Decision Day
Anne-Marie Sorvin-USA TODAY Sports Following a 1-1 draw with the Seattle Sounders on Decision Day at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps have made the MLS playoffs for the first time since 2017.

An extra time Real Salt Lake goal shook things up in the West standings, which finalized the playoff matchup to come, as Vancouver will travel to Sporting Kansas City in a few weeks time.
In terms of the match itself, the Whitecaps embodied the team they have been as this season has gone on, a resilient group which has been full of surprises.
