Decision Day was not to be as #VWFC fell to FC Dallas 2-1 at BC Place.

Talking points aplenty.

Hard fought but frustrating Decision Day match for #VWFC . Plus, some very poor officiating took the stage. Whitecaps fail to clinch first in the West but will face Dallas again in round 1. Post-match for @area51sportsnet.bsky.social
is up now.

Whitecaps lose to FC Dallas in frustrating match
The Vancouver Whitecaps fought hard while being down to 10 men against FC Dallas. Unfortunately, they lost, and officiating took centre stage yet again.

FT Thoughts:
- #VWFC have faced a few matches of ref adversity this season
- Had 10 men for most of the match. Played like they had an advantage
- Top of the West remains elusive
- For all the adversity, 'Caps did well
- Soccer gods giveth in Orlando, taketh today?

85' - This #VWFC team has 10 men right now. For the past 20-30 minutes, they've played like they have 15.

76' - Badwal with a beautiful chance! But a great save from Collodi.

72' - Speechless. Ahmed is brought down, and it's plain for all to see.

59' - Happy Chapman played the advantage there, but going back, I'm surprised there was no yellow on the play.

The greatest player of all time is wrapping up the best season in MLS history and virtually everyone — from league diehards to general American sports fans to the broader soccer world — just straight up doesn't care. This is (a) sociologically interesting and (b) an utter catastrophe for MLS

Looks like Messi has locked in the golden boot along with the MVP award for 2025. What a historic season

HT Thoughts:
- Chapman and #VWFC. Never boring!
- DOGSO...haven't seen a replay if Laborda was the last defender, but if he was...
- Good work from the midfield so far. Difficult job 1-man down
- This game could easily get out of hand. Not sure Chapman is the guy to reign it in

But yeah, you're right on the penalty effectively reinstating the clear opportunity.

Haven't been able to see a replay yet, so can't comment on whether he played the ball or not. Did see his hands all over Sabbi though.

27' - PENALTY - Clear call. Sabbi pulled down by Abubakar.

Wasn't Abubakar the last defender? 🤔

23' - Red card has changed the mentality of the match. Dallas sees a clear opportunity here, and they're playing like it. #VWFC suddenly find themselves chasing the game and putting themselves in poor positions.

18' - GOAL - Urhoghide scores off the corner and immediately runs to the #VWFC fans to celebrate.

Classy...

16' - Reaction save from Takaoka. Was from distance, but still required work from the #VWFC keeper.
