It wasn’t the result the Vancouver Whitecaps wanted, but how can you say no to more points on the road? As beguiling as a second win in a week would have been, particularly with the potential playoff cushioning the accompanying points a win would afford, last night’s draw away to San Jose Earthquakes will certainly make do.
A draw wasn’t the perfect cap to a week that saw the Whitecaps climb above the line, particularly when so many Western Conference clubs vying for the remaining playoff spots faltered on Saturday, but it was still a reasonable road effort that no one on Vancouver would turn away.
