And we need to have that self confidence.” “We went through the (tape from the Columbus) game and of course the first 15, 20 minutes were terrible. I don’t I don’t really think so. I think that if he stays in the game more, with him and Brian, we can put pressure to the two centrebacks. We showed a lot of improvement, but I think we’re still lacking a little bit of high intensity, and capitalizing on our chances. He had a perfectly weighted line-splitting through-ball to Deiber Caicedo in the first half on a counter, then picked out Lucas Cavallini between two defenders two minutes later. They still didn’t have much possession in the face of a technically adept New York side, but it did allow for Ryan Gauld to get further up the pitch to where his offensive abilities were better utilized as a No. 10 playmaker underneath the strikers.

The visitors also outshot the 'Caps 12-5 and 3-1 in shots on target. Vancouver's first on-target shot came when attacking midfielder Ryan Gauld sent a crisp cross into Cavallini in the box. I think the tie is a fair result at the end.” Hasal's best save of the night came in the 89th minute Saturday when Santiago Rodriguez sent a ball into the Vancouver box, where Thiago Andrade redirected it at the 'Caps net. Both sides were coming off losses, with the 'Caps suffering a 4-0 drubbing to Columbus Crew SC on opening day. This is a game that we have to build off," Hasal said. … Vancouver midfielder Ryan Raposo turned 23 on Saturday. "Little positive energy for myself. “For me as a young player, it was a huge spectacle," he said. And I think after his injury, he hasn’t been the same, lacking that confidence. "I think before his injuries, he was unbelievable. But now he demonstrated who he was before his injury and he’s just getting better game by game.”

Vancouver Whitecaps Show Progression in Scoreless Draw (Eighty Six Forever)

After an opening day disaster, the Vancouver Whitecaps got back on track at home vs. NYCFC.

But it was nice to see Vanni Sartini’s team bounce back in this one and rekindle some of the energetic and direct football that helped them go on a miraculous run at the end of last season. Gutierrez and Brown are your best fullbacks, and there’s no sense in looking away from that, other than the fact that depth is very thin at the position...it’s still a bit curious they failed to address that in the off season. Given that Erik Godoy is unlikely to stay fit for long stretches, this is VWFC’s best back three and they looked the part in this match. Leonard Owusu had a decent showing in his 2022 debut, but it’s clear that Caio Alexandre can’t come back to this team soon enough. Overall, I took this as a good sign of what’s to come for someone who’s been out of form for the better part of a year. To start things off, moving back to the double pivot in the centre of the midfield just makes more sense for this team.
