The top of the West remains in Vancouver's control which is huge. LAFC is a real threat.

FT Thoughts:

-One way traffic in the second half, deserved all three points without a doubt.
-Whitecaps were not very efficient with all their possession, a lot of that comes down to all the players missing.
-Müller clutch, Gauld was lively, Ngando very good off the bench as well.

Goal Vancouver!!!

What chaos in front of goal, looks like it went off Pierre as the Orlando defender tried to clear.

Great battle from Ngando to win the initial ball.

Off the crossbar, and then a Müller overhead attempt, things are heating up in Orlando.

What can the 'Caps do here?

HT Thoughts:

-Orlando has looked like the more desperate team so far.
-Defense has been a bit disorganized with both Priso and Halbouni.
-Müller with some flashes, need better final actions from Ríos and Ocampo.

Vancouver are caught in transition and Orlando strikes first!

Not sure what Halbouni was doing in no man's land there.

1-0.

The line-up pretty much picked itself bar one wing position. Had a few ideas who that might be, but didn't think Jeevan!

Nelson Pierre on bench. Looked hungry at training this week. Hope we see him get and take his chance.
