“It’s actually something very personal, because to be honest, I want to be at the World Cup, to play for my national team, Ecuador. Vanni has said I needed to work on my intensity, and I’ve done just that, and now the results are coming.” Unfortunately we didn’t score the third goal, and in the end of course they have quality players, Will Bruin scored a fantastic goal. There’s odd results at the end of seasons and the Whitecaps need a fair few to extend theirs. “It’s just trying to get it clean on the foot, not on the toes but on really the front of the foot on top, using kind of the momentum of the ball a little bit as well.

We just didn’t let them walk all over us in those moments, we kind of tried to stay in there and fight back and not give in. But if they keep playing like this and keep fighting to the end, that’s all you can ask for. In front of our fans, [we’re] keeping the game against Austin meaningful in this way, the performance was amazing, we should have won 4-0. Vancouver continued where they left off against LA, taking the game to Seattle from the off, with Stefan Frei making a strong save on Luis Martins six minutes in.

The Whitecaps thought they had added a third just past the hour mark when Frei scooped Brian White’s effort off the goalline.
