VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC are top of the Western Conference.
After starting the season with a rash of injuries to key players, the ‘Caps have made an almost stealthy climb to the summit. Wednesday night's comfortable 3-0 home win against Minnesota United saw Vancouver move into first place in the West for the first time this season, extending their unbeaten run to five games in the process.
It's been quite the turnaround for the ‘Caps, who missed the playoffs last season for the first time in three years.
