One shot on target over two playoff legs: An embarrassment for the Whitecaps 2 Nov 2017 Make no mistake, one shot on goal over 180 minutes is embarrassing. It’s as bad as losing 10-0.
Wonder goal from Donovan is enough to give Galaxy a win over the Whitecaps 25 Aug 2013 Latching onto a loose ball after Andy O'Brien and Johnny Leveron both moved toward Robbie Keane in the third minute, the U.S. international powered a laser of a shot into the top left side of David Ousted's goal in what would turn out to be game winner.
Harvey’s header allows Whitecaps to escape Portland with a point 4 Aug 2013 The left fullback, scoring his fourth goal of the campaign, redirected home a Camilo corner kick. The goal marked Vancouver’s first direct corner kick conversion since captain Jay DeMerit’s headed goal against Chivas USA on March 17, 2012.
Controversial call helps Galaxy end Whitecaps’ six-game unbeaten run 21 Jul 2013 “The assistant referee called the referee over to determine if #29 Zardes had touched the ball with his head before #33 [Villarreal] kicked the ball into the goal,” Penso wrote. “The referee determined that Zardes had not touched the ball, thus not making [Villarreal] offside. The goal was awarded.”
Ho hum, Camilo scores again for the Whitecaps 4 Jul 2013 This time it was a late first-half free kick effort which proved to be the eventual equalizer in a 1-1 away draw against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday.
Red-hot Camilo’s penalty kick keeps Whitecaps’ winning streak alive 30 Jun 2013 The Brazilian banged home the winner on 48 minutes, but Matt Watson played a big role in generating the PK, tapping the ball away from Bill Hamid in the area before getting clattered by the goalkeeper.
Whitecaps give up first goal again, win again 20 Jun 2013 “We showed excellent character to stay composed and to fight back,” Rennie said. “A lot of teams when they lose the first goal the game is over, and that’s never been the case for us, especially this season, so that’s an encouraging sign.”
Miller, red card spur Whitecaps to wild victory over the Revs 16 Jun 2013 “It’s just a clip,” Miller said. “I was getting ready to pull the trigger and put the ball in the back of the net, and he just clipped my heels or my calf. It’s one of them – it’s harsh on him, but by the letter of the law, it’s got to be a sending off.”
Whitecaps’ defence-first strategy pays off in Montreal; Brovsky breaks nose and “maybe” his cheekbone 16 May 2013 “I feel like on the road we’ve been a little bit too open. At times we’ve played quite well but our results haven’t been as good as I would have liked on the road so I felt we should become more difficult to play against,” Rennie opined. “I think the players did their jobs tonight. They made the game more compact and we weren’t as open and easy to play against.”
Breaking down the Whitecaps’ 2012 season, player by player 7 Dec 2012 The Whitecaps will almost certainly lose if Darren Mattocks plays 90 minutes. But, before Davide Chiumiento left, the 'Caps were undefeated if he played — but NOT the full 90.
