VWFC picked up their first point of the MLS season after a scoreless draw with the Sounders.
The wild sequence began when Vancouver’s Joaquin Ardaiz took a shot that was stopped by Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei. The ball rolled to the Whitecaps’ Hwang In-Beom, whose shot was blocked again by a diving Frei. After the play, In-Beom had his legs taken out from underneath him by a sliding tackle by Seattle’s Kim Kee-hee.
For most of the match, the Whitecaps played a disciplined, defensive game. That forced the unbeaten Sounders to move the ball around the outside in hopes of breaking the Vancouver shape. Whitecaps goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau had to look sharp in the 64th minute when Seattle’s Gustav Svensson blasted a shot from well outside the box. Crepeau steered it clear with a two-hand save.
The Sounders controlled much of the play during the scoreless first half, but it was the Whitecaps who managed two good scoring chances.
