The Vancouver Whitecaps took all three points Saturday night in Kansas City by a score of 1-0. In any season leading up to this one that would have been a monumental achievement. Yes, Sporting KC has not been in very good form this year, but nonetheless, it was an impressive job from Vancouver to earn their second consecutive road result amongst an incredibly busy span of games.
While the bunker and counter strategy from the Whitecaps didn’t make for amazing football, SKC did not appear to have any answers for the Whitecaps’ structural rigidity, so I have to credit Sartini and his coaching staff for doing just enough to get the job done.
