The manner of his departure — which has been kept private, and never expanded upon beyond “personal reasons” by all sides — dissatisfied many in the Caps fan base. The raspberries and boos were loud whenever Max Crepeau touched the ball, but they weren’t particularly lusty. Article content Article content Article content Article content

Four match unbeaten run snapped with late mistake, late goal.

The next match will be a big one. Just when it looked like LAFC would get away with playing it safe, they made a single mistake that Vancouver were more than ready to pounce on. The half ended with LAFC putting up just four shots, with zero on target. The team was content with absorbing any pressure from Vancouver, maintaining possession, and picking their chances to go on a run carefully. Having just had a match at the midweek, and with one eye on El Tráfico coming next weekend, LAFC deployed a fairly heavy rotated squad for this one. Just a few days after a nice 3-1 win at home, LAFC are back in action on the road.

Vancouver (6-8-3) remains undaunted, though, said head coach Vanni Sartini. “They win almost every game,” Sartini said Thursday. “So we have to think about us ...

“I will be happy to play against them in the playoffs,” he said. “I will be very happy to see them,” he said. And, to be honest, LAFC is the best team in the league.” The matchup is the second meeting this season between the two teams. LAFC defender Doneil Henry played two seasons in Vancouver and ’keeper Maxime Crepeau was a star in the ‘Caps net from 2019 to 2021. LAST 10 GAMES: Whitecaps: 5-3-2, averaging 1.2 goals, 3.5 shots on goal and 3.2 corner kicks per game while allowing 1.4 goals per game. The ’Caps have scored the third least with 17. “It’s always good to play against friends. And I believe if we do a good performance, we have chances to win. “We’ve shown that we can get clean sheets and battle out results. “That’s the only way to be the best team. “It’s going to be hard, but it’s not going to be impossible.”

Vancouver goalkeeper Cody Cropper did not have a save for his fourth shutout of the season. Crepeau started in 32 games for Vancouver between 2019 and 2021, but requested a trade ahead of the 2022 campaign due to what Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster has described as a “very personal situation.” Crepeau made a save in his return to BC Place. Jeers and boos rained down on the 28-year-old Canadian nearly every time he touched the ball.

And on Saturday, it was one of those nights for the Vancouver Whitecaps, who faced off against an LAFC side currently top of the MLS standings, in great form as ...

“First of all, it’s the players, they believe in what we do when we push. Yet, at the same time, that’s been the ‘Caps as of late. Then, they broke things wide-open. “I think it’s because of three things,” ‘Caps head coach, Vanni Sartini, said afterwards. Faced off against an LA side deploying a bit of a new-look 5-3-2, one that was used both out of necessity and as a counter to the ‘Caps free-flowing 3-5-2, LA came out with the intent of slowing the game down and dominating play in the middle of the park. The Vancouver Whitecaps maintained their hot run of form on Saturday with a win over LAFC. Here’s a look at the ‘Caps form as of late, and what’s working as they’ve vaulted to the top of the MLS form standings.

Vancouver goalkeeper Cody Cropper did not have a save for his fourth shutout of the season. Cubas intercepted a clearing attempt, taking the ball off his chest at the top of the penalty area, and fired a right-footer past former Whitecaps goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau and into the bottom left-corner of the net. Crepeau started in 32 games for Vancouver between 2019 and 2021, but requested a trade ahead of the 2022 campaign due to what Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster has described as a “very personal situation.”

VANCOUVER — Maxime Crépeau a été nommé capitaine du Los Angeles FC en vue du match contre son ancienne équipe, les Whitecaps de Vancouver.

Crépeau a également porté les couleurs du CF Montréal. Les Whitecaps (7-8-3) ont surpris la première équipe au classement de la MLS, le LAFC (11-4-3), et passé à égalité avec le Galaxy de Los Angeles au dernier rang donnant accès aux séries éliminatoires. Le Galaxy a toutefois disputé moins de matchs et est virtuellement en série contrairement aux Whitecaps. Le gardien de la sélection canadienne a été applaudi et hué chaque fois qu’il a touché au ballon.

The Vancouver Whitecaps took down Major League Soccer's top team on Saturday, beating Los Angeles FC 1-0.

FOOT NOTES: Former Whitecaps head coach Marc Dos Santos also made his return to BC Place. Dos Santos was fired from his role last August and joined LAFC as an assistant coach ahead of the 2022 season. A foul by Vancouver's Russell Teibert gave L.A. a free kick from the top corner of the penalty area. Latif Blessing nearly opened the scoring for L.A. earlier in the half. ``I just tried to get free in the box,'' Blackmon said. And as soon as I got on the ball, I knew I had to do something with it. ``My old teammates deserve all the support of the fans coming to the stadium. There was a lot of people in there but hopefully next time it goes in.'' I think it was great to see the numbers going up because previous games it wasn't this way.'' ``I think the stats speak for themselves,'' said defender Tristan Blackmon. ``We've been in really good form lately. An 89th-minute goal from newcomer Andres Cubas gave the home side a crucial 1-0 victory. I saw the opening in the angle of the goal and thankfully it all worked out in the end.'' ``It was great that I stayed in that position at the top of the box,'' Cubas said through a translator.

I saw the opening in the angle of the goal and thankfully it all worked out in the end.” Also, the entire club, whether that be my teammates, the staff, the front office, anyone in the club has welcomed me super well so I’m extremely grateful to everyone around the entire club for welcoming me so nicely.” I was very happy, Andrés scored a fantastic goal but again, we deserved it, Brian hit the post, we were always in the box, a couple of times Maxime lost the ball in the air and it was kind of a scrum in front of the goal. Especially in transition as well as going forward, he’s very good on the ball and he springs guys forward and creates space for us.” He’s a big player, with the last few games, what he can bring to the team and he’s going to be really important for us.” Both sides made a change at the half in an attempt to change things up.

Andres Cubas was the hero for the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night as they took down the best team in MLS.

He creates a roadblock in the midfield other teams have to play around, something the Whitecaps haven’t been able to do for years now. Hopefully, this creates a foundation to see more of Vite in the future, especially in the continued absence of Deiber Caicedo. None of this sunk the Whitecaps though, as Javain Brown and Ranko were full value for Vancouver in the back three, and the Whitecaps found a terrific creative spark off the bench in Pedro Vite, something that felt like it was a long time coming.
