Vancouver Whitecaps Forget the ACC Started Tonight, Losing 2-0 to Ottawa Fury

The Vancouver Whitecaps began defense of their Canadian Championship Wednesday night against Ottawa Fury. Well, they were supposed to start their defense, however, apparently no one informed the youth-laden team that took to the pitch as their display was abysmal.

As expected, the Whitecaps started a mostly ThunderCaps (Whitecaps FC 2) and Canadian lineup, with Aird, Adekugbe, McKendry, Teibert, Bustos, and Froese starting.

Unfortunately, the match did not start out the way the Whitecaps would have liked as former Whitecaps Jonny Steele curled a lovely ball into the top corner in the 3rd minute to put the home team ahead 1-0.
