The Vancouver Whitecaps ended their regular season on a high note, riding a dominant second-half performance into a 2-0 win against CF Montreal to wrap up second place in the league table.
Goals from Cheikh Sabaly and Mihail Gherasimencov capped off a professional display against a Montreal side that showed some pluck but mostly looked ready for the beach.
Jesper Sorensen opted for a bit of rotation ahead of the playoffs, bringing Ralph Priso, Ranko Veselinovic, Gherasimencov, Sabaly, and Rayan Elloumi into the lineup. Otherwise, the squad mirrored what we’ve seen against San Diego and Seattle.
It was a slow start to the match, with both sides trying to find their feet in the final third.
