Report Card: Whitecaps' Weakest Links Exposed in Loss to Minnesota (Eighty Six Forever)

Friday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps uncharacteristically threw away home points against Minnesota United, allowing three unanswered ...

A part of this was that White didn’t do a great job providing Gauld with passing options in and around the box. Ranko Veselinovic (5.5) : The young Serbian looked about as good as you can look in a 3-1 defeat and was the strongest defender on the evening. I far prefer Dajome in an advanced role as he can get a bit tunnel-visioned on the ball which leads to some overly direct play and some missed opportunities when he’s at the wing back spot. Overall, Javain has adjusted well to the wide centre back spot and combines well with whoever plays at wing back in front of him. Equally, when in possession, Jake is not comfortable enough to build up patiently and play back and forth with the wing back on his side of the pitch. Lucas Cavallini (6.0) : El Tanque continues to find a way to be productive. It could have been a much different day if Dajome had found him wide open in front of goal in the first half. Vanni’s system, at its best, has relied on the wide centre backs being calm on the ball and utilizing the wing backs to build play in transition. There’s a big difference between Cropper being part of the Whitecaps’ recent success and Cropper being the reason for the Whitecaps’ recent success. There were some pretty obvious reasons this match went sideways for Vancouver, and a few players in particular are going to bear the brunt of the second-half collapse. Cody Cropper (1.5) : This match should clear up some of the Cropper over-hyping we’ve seen in this market. Jake Nerwinski (0.0) : Ok, time to rip the band-aid off.

The injuries and woes continued to pile up for the Vancouver Whitecaps on Friday. As a result, they suffered only their third loss in their last 11 games, ...

“We need to be a 90-minute team,” ‘Caps goalkeeper, Cody Cropper, said. Of course, during this streak, they’ve done well to manage the moments, but there were still concerns emerging, such as their lack of first-half goals, especially at home (of which they have just one in 10 home games), as well as their defensive play. “Tonight, we were not a 90-minute team. “I think actually we played well until we scored the goal,” Sartini said. “Unfortunately, we made a big mistake on the second goal,” Whitecaps head coach, Vanni Sartini, said afterwards. Entering this game short seven regulars, things went from bad to worse for the ‘Caps, as star midfielder Andrés Cubas left the game with groin discomfort, while full back Marcus Godinho left with knee pain.

Recap | Minnesota United - 3, Vancouver Whitecaps - 1 (Minnesota United FC)

The Loons head home with a resilient come-from-behind victory and some bangers to boot.

This was the striker’s fifth goal of the season, and what a way to score it. Though this match week is not yet over, the Loons are currently in fifth place in the Western Conference. This resilient, come-from-behind victory precedes a two-game home stand for Minnesota United, beginning with a matchup against last place Sporting KC on Wednesday, July 13 as a part of Heineken Rivalry Week. MNUFC was able to find their feet before too long, as Emanuel Reynoso began to get involved, and Hlongwane continued his efforts from the first half. They had to settle for a 0-0 scoreline at the halftime whistle. Shortly after, Gauld once again unleashed a wicked shot, beating Dayne St. Clair, but failing to beat the goalpost. Between Gauld’s tireless work rate and Cristian Dajome’s speed in transition, the Canadians seemed to be on the front foot from the 15th to about the 25th minute. The Loons most dynamic player in the half was Bongokuhle Hlongwane, whose battle with Dajome challenged in both the attack and defense. They came out of kickoff like a sprinter out of the blocks, quickly getting into Vancouver’s penalty area and staying there. Scottish playmaker Ryan Gauld appeared to be everywhere for the Whitecaps, coming back on defense, creating chances, and being the catalyst of everything good for his team. Only one hot streak continued tonight, as Minnesota United came back from a goal down to defeat the Vancouver Whitecaps by a score of 3-1. Despite a relative lack of clear opportunities for both teams, possession favored the Loons slightly and the intensity remained high throughout the half. Though they applied pressure and put the ball into some dangerous areas with quick play, nothing ultimately came from their speedy start.

Second-half surge carries Minnesota United past Whitecaps (National Post)

Minnesota United erupted for three goals in 17 minutes late in the second half to rally for a 3-1 win against the host Vancouver Whitecaps on Friday.

The breakthrough goal came when Cavallini scored his sixth goal on a knockdown header from 8 yards. After a Minnesota corner, Trapp and Emanuel Reynoso had shots blocked. Fragapane took a pass from Dayne St. Clair and scored his second goal of the season.

Cristian Gutierrez is still injured and unlikely to travel, while Luis Martins missed Friday’s game with a calf strain. Marcus Godinho limped off with a left knee problem early in the second half, and his status for Wednesday’s game isn’t known. Last week’s game ended a four-game home stand for the Whitecaps, who now play three of their next four MLS games on the road. Cubas, however, kept his shutout streak alive, as he subbed off at halftime and wasn’t on the pitch for the goal. “(He was) very good,” said Sartini. “He made a fantastic assist. After Cavallini’s goal, Sartini had intended to bring on another player to stiffen the middle of the park, but the Loons scoring right away changed his plans. And in the second half, you can see that the game becomes much more open … it becomes more of a transition-based game and I think we’re a little out of position here and there and, it hurts us. But Cubas was a halftime substitute, coming off in lieu of Leo Owusu, having felt the effects up a groin issue. “So now we have two machines with him and Rusty.” It showed, with Cropper only having five touches at half, an obscenely low number for a team that plays out of the back so much. The first two goals by Minnesota (7-9-3) came off of Vancouver turnovers, and the third was salt in the wound. “After the goal, instead of getting fueled by it, we dropped a lot,” said coach Vanni Sartini. “I don’t know what it was, to be honest.

The game is 90 minutes and we need to seal the game and it’s just learning from that.” There’s highs and lows and this makes you want to get back on the field for the next game and get that result. Then in the second half, the game became a little bit open, but in a way that you know the first half we conceded I think a chance on a corner second ball, and Reynoso made a great play when the he hit the ball, and then we had the chance when Ryan hit the post, so it was a pretty even game. We go up 1-0, we need to find a way to seal the game in control. Tonight, like I said, like Vanni said, we were a 60 minute team, and unfortunately, that is a takeaway that we have to learn from.” “That we need to be a 90 minute team. “I think it was an even game, we had half chances in the first half and they had chances. Level on points, and with an identical record, this was one of those matches that the Whitecaps badly needed to win, and for three quarters of the game things were going great. They have two tough road matches coming up at Cincinnati (who’d think we’d be saying that) and Portland. They could finish this weekend in 11th in the West, still just three points off the playoff line but with a lot of traffic ahead of them. We’re still not likely to get a proper answer to any of those questions for months, especially with the injuries continuing to wrack up and prevent the Whitecaps from actually getting their best team on the park. A tough home loss, the Whitecaps’ second of the season at BC Place. They’ve dropped 12 points now from their 10 home matches. The last 10 games have seen Vancouver Whitecaps on something of a tear.

Even though they are getting hit with attacking blows (Injury to Caicedo comes to mind) the Whitecaps continue to get goals in whatever way possible, and if that’s not possible, the defense locks down the box.
