Last night, the Vancouver Whitecaps hosted the Seattle Sounders in the first leg of the Western Conference semi-finals. While the Caps were able to hold the Sounders off the score sheet, they were unable to score themselves. In fact, they were unable to even get a shot on target. As a result, many fans left BC Place, rightfully, disappointed. However, if you listen to interviews after the match by Carl Robinson and the players, the match went exactly as they wanted.
After a commanding 5-0 victory on Wednesday evening, albeit against an underwhelming San Jose Earthquakes, hopes were high that the Whitecaps could carry that momentum over to Sunday’s match against their Cascadia rival.
