VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Seattle Sounders FC played to a scoreless draw on Sunday night in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals at BC Place, leaving everything to play for heading into next week’s second leg in Seattle.
Here are three things that stood out to me.
CHESS MATCH
In the build-up to Sunday’s match, Carl Robinson said he expected a chess match.
That, it certainly was.
These teams know each other inside out. The ‘Caps know that Seattle likes to build through Nicolas Lodeiro in midfield and get their fullbacks involved in the attack.
