In a match that never felt quite beyond their control, yet had moments of self-inflicted unsteadiness, the Whitecaps ended their four-game home stand with a 2-1 defeat of the cellar dwelling Colorado Rapids.
Though the ‘Caps had a majority of the quality chances, it sometimes felt as though the team were just as likely to give the ball away as they were to make a beautiful, eye-of-the-needle throughball, which carries its own problems when it doesn’t work.
Nevertheless, the Whitecaps were ultimately successful in closing out the last-place Rapids before heading on the road for their next three matches.
