VANCOUVER — A bitter taste lingers for the Vancouver Whitecaps as another Major League Soccer season comes to an end.
The 'Caps were ousted from the playoffs Friday by Los Angeles FC when Vancouver dropped the decisive game of the best-of-three first-round playoff series 1-0 in California.“Definitely a bit of frustration," striker Brian White said of the season's end."You think back on opportunities missed, think about what could have been if you had done better this game, that game.The campaign was full of highs and lows for the Whitecaps.
While Los Angeles took a 2-1 victory in the opening game, the Whitecaps won the second match 3-0 before dropping the finale. Analytics show there were areas of growth for the team between the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Sartini added, with a higher expected goals rate, fewer goals conceded and improved results from set pieces.
There are a lot of things to improve on as the players turn their attention to next year, said goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka.
