Wednesday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps claimed a strong 5-0 victory over Real Espana in the CONCACAF Champions League.
After two tough matches in league play, this was a good opportunity for the Whitecaps to build some confidence and get their season properly underway. While you can question the level of competition, these early round matchups in the CCL can be a landmine, especially for a team that is not in great form. So big credit goes to the Whitecaps for taking care of business and making their job significantly easier for the return fixture in Honduras (we all know how tough those trips can be).
