Whitecaps Starting XI
Starting XI
Ousted goes up high for the cross.
David Ousted 8.0
Only had to make one save this game but defended all the crosses and stayed calm with all the pressure Sporting KC threw into the box.
Fraser Aird 7.0
Had a solid game and has really improved this season a great deal. Was very quick down the wing and managed to get in front of a good number of crosses. He played a very physical game and did not back down.
Hit the showers Mr. Waston
Kendall Waston 5.5
A poor game for Waston in a number of different parts of the game. His 1st yellow was a soft call and we are use to seeing that. The problem I had was him falling asleep on the Sporting KC goal. This is not the first time he has been caught sleeping this season.
Tim Parker 7.5
Other than the poor back pass that caused Waston to be sent off he had a great game. Had a great goal line clearance to save a goal, motored on when Dwyer studded him in the ankle and caused him to bleed.
Jordan Harvey 7.0
Another solid game for Harvey, this is becoming the normal. Has easily been the best Whitecaps defender this season.
Russell Teibert 8.0
My player of the game was Teibert, he was all over the pitch and was solid defensively. Looked like the rusty of old and the supporters loved it.
Matias Laba 6.0
After such a great game last week versus FC Dallas this week was a disappointment. His passes were a few steps behind and was always lagging this game. Lets hope he puts this game behind him quickly.
Christian Bolanos 7.0
Yes he scored a wonderful goal but after that goal he disappeared from the pitch. He needs to step up and demand the ball from his teammates and force himself to be apart of this teams offence,
Pedro Morales 6.5
After missing three games with a hip strain the captain started and out in a solid 55 minutes of action. He was a little slower after being knocked down a few times but it was a good shift. I do not see him making the trip to NYC.
Cristian Techera 6.5
Needs to stop falling over every time he feels pressure on his back. Yes he gets calls from time to time but when he doesn’t get the call he looks bad.
Masato Kudo with the start tonight at striker
Masato Kudo 7.5
Finally we saw a good shift from Kudo, it’s about damn time in my book. Had a good chance on a header but couldn’t get a full touch. Almost got onto a cross into the book but was a few steps too slow to get to the ball.
Subs
Pa-Modou Kah 7.0
Got called in when Waston has sent off. Had a few Kah moments where some wires get crossed and it is an adventure. But filled in nicely enough to help get the draw with being a mad down.
Octavio Rivero 6.0
Will the real Rivero please stand up, no seriously get off your ass and get up. Stop flopping and looking for calls. It doesn’t look good for you, your team or MLS.
Kekuta Manneh 6.5
Had a good run at end of game but didn’t have enough time to make a difference.
Vancouver Whitecaps
MLS
