Believe it — VAR once again has undercut a Vancouver Whitecaps performance, this time costing them a win in Chicago on Friday
Friday night in Chicago saw howling winds, a howler from David Ousted, and howls of derision and protest from the Vancouver Whitecaps after their latest sister-kissing result, a 1-1 tie that flipped on a controversial 11th-hour VAR call — again — denying the desperate Major League Soccer side its first win of the season.“ disappointing,” said Caps right back Scott Sutter. “If I am honest, usually I think in this league a point away from home is usually a good result under normal circumstances.
The Whitecaps felt aggrieved twice over. First, Henry felt the ball hit him in the chest, and TSN replays didn’t show a definitive shot of it hitting his arm. Second, they felt play had resumed after a stoppage, which by rule meant a review shouldn’t have been conducted. Whitecaps coach Marc Dos Santos said Marrufo assured him it was a penalty shot, and considering that would mean a historic fourth PK against in his first six games, Dos Santos wasn’t too enthusiastic.
Friday was no different. Whether it was the brisk winds blowing through the stadium or just a side that was unsettled with its touches and passing, the Whitecaps barely held on to the ball, allowing 60 per cent possession to Chicago.
