Tuesday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps opened their Leagues Cup campaign with a 1-0 loss to Atlante FC. Before the match had even started, you got a sense of Jesper Sørensen’s approach to this tournament, as he elected to field a heavily rotated XI, including the likes of Nikola Djordjevic, JC Ngando, and Rayan Elloumi.

Saturday night in Minnesota, the Vancouver Whitecaps played out a 0-0 draw with the Loons at Allianz Field.

Vancouver largely controlled proceedings and certainly dominated possession, finishing with 64% of the … Continue reading Report Card: Saint Paul Stalemate
