It was always going to be a bit emotional seeing Alphonso Davies for the last time as a Vancouver Whitecaps player. He’s such an exciting player to watch, and on his day, he’s capable of winning a game for his team. He did just that and further stoked the flames surrounding his own hype.
That said, while the day belonged to Phonzie, the rest of the Whitecaps really showed up and put in what was probably the best team performance they’ve had all season. While some of that was a shame because the team was already eliminated from the playoffs, this was still a Cascadia derby - and it’s always nice to beat Portland.
