Techera continues fine form in entertaining 2-2 draw with Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Cristian Techera scored his fifth goal of the season and Tony Tchani opened his account with Vancouver Whitecaps FC (6W-6L-3D) in an entertaining 2-2 draw with Minnesota United FC on Saturday night at TCF Bank Stadium (5W-9L-3D).
“The Bug” opened the scoring on a 17th-minute penalty and set up Tchani on a free kick at the end of the first half, giving Vancouver a 2-0 lead at the break. But Minnesota found a way to fight back through second-half goals from Francisco Calvo and Jerome Thiesson, forcing the injury-riddled ‘Caps to settle for a second straight draw.
