The Vancouver Whitecaps brief playoff experience came to an end Sunday night with a tempestuous 1-0 loss to Los Angeles F.C., eliminating the Canadian club from the Major League Soccer post-season.
Golden boot winner Denis Bouangascored the winner in the 24th minute on a penalty after Whitecaps defender Tristan Blackmon was judged to have fouled LAFC's Mario Gonzalez.
Vancouver's players surrounded referee Tim Ford decrying the decision and would do so again roughly 15 minutes later after Gonzalez slid in hard on goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka earning a yellow card as fans called for a sending off. Whitecaps top scorer Brian White had the best opportunity of the game in the 85th minute after Ryan Gauld's cross found the American open in the box, only for his header to go straight into the hands of former Vancouver goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau.
