Starting XI
David Ousted 7.5
-Never had to make that huge save but did enough for the Whitecaps to earn the victory.
Fraser Aird 7.0
-Another solid out going for the young Canadian to go along with the 2nd half or the Impact game to open the season.
Kendall Waston 8.5
-Finally a game where he stepped up his physical play and didn’t hesitate to use his size.
Tim Parker 7.0
-Another good outing for Parker, has probably been the best defender to start this season for this team.
Jordan Harvey 7.0
-Always does just enough not to be a liability for his team.
Matias Laba 7.0
-Still not up to par with his abilities last season but easily his best game of the season.
Pedro Morales 8.0
-Settled very nicely in the back attacking midfield position on the pitch. He is money from the penalty spot time and time again.
Christian Bolanos 7.0
-After missing last game due to suspension, had a very good outgoing. Had a great effort to get the penalty call to give the Whitecaps the early lead.
Kekuta Manneh 6.0
-Was invisible all game long, needs to step up and make a difference for this team.
Blas Perez 9.0
-Did everything right to make a positive impact on this game for his team. That is why he was brought in for this team.
Octavio Rivero 6.0
-Plan and simple he needs to find the back of the net, can’t settle for he does everything right but score.
Subs
Andrew Jacobson (min’78) 7.0
-Very nice first run for the new player. Has the ability to be a solid player for this team.
Cristian Techera (min’83) 6.5
-Needs to step up his fitness and play and the levels he showed last season.
Masato Kudo (min’84) 6.5
-Hopefully his non soccer related injury is fully healed and he can get some decent minutes for this team.
