The Vancouver Whitecaps lost 3-0 to Nashville SC in a game that was as dispiriting as it was weird.
The Whitecaps came out looking quite bright. They had the ball in Nashville’s end for the most part and created a few scrambles around the box. They still didn’t look like they were on the verge of slicing open the opposition but they looked like they were on course for one of those home wins where their pressure was enough that eventually a goal just kind of appeared. Then that positive start crumbled when Nashville scored two quick goals.
