It’s unacceptable that two games in a row we are up and then we lose.” “It’s better to be nervous when you’re 1-0 up than nervous when you’re 1-0 down,” he said.

Vancouver put four shots on net to the Toros’ two, with both teams managing 11 shots overall. They had some assistance from referee Marcos DeOliveira, who made some baffling decisions on fouls and non-fouls. “We had a lot of chances.

The Caps got their first points of the year Saturday, trading first half goals with FC Dallas to nab a 1-1 draw at BC Place. The match was a hard fought one ...

The best chance to take the lead was in the last moments of the match. Andres Cubas or Ranko Veselinovic are my two choices here, with both upping their game after a rocky start to the match. - Ali Ahmed is clearly in the Caps’ plans, which is nice to see. It was an interesting wrinkle, though I’m not sure Brown ever did enough going forward to make up for Gressel, the team’s most impactful passer this season, becoming less of a factor. You can see the groundwork of a dangerous attack but things just aren’t coming together in the final third. FC Dallas still maintained the upper hand and the Caps really struggled to handle the long balls from both of their central defenders and were still too lose defensively. Ali Ahmed and Andres Cubas made big interventions late for the Caps and they were as tough and stuck in as they’ve been in recent memory. Two good chances, however, fell victim to the side netting and a big stop from Maarten Paes. But the home side settled down and began to rack up a couple nice chances. Both of FC Dallas’ centerbacks hung around the box after a set piece and they connected well. The Caps rolled into Saturday’s match with a less rotated squad than you would have expected given the midweek test, a benefit of the blowout scoreline. After losing control of the match early, Vancouver regained it to grab an equalizer and frustrate Dallas.

FC Dallas and Vancouver Whitecaps FC Share Points in 1-1 Draw (FC Dallas)

Sebastian Ibeagha's goal is the fastest scored in the 2023 MLS Regular Season.

Changing us to three at the back allowed us to go more forward and that is exactly what we did.” And we did a good job on that, we created some good chances to score the second goal. Kos is similar to the athletic play style I have, while José has that technical play and is very good on the ball. And then we switched to a three in the back and it helped us. We had a good start and scored a goal. Ibeagha’s goal is the fastest goal scored in the 2023 MLS Regular season at four minutes and three seconds.
