The Caps held the edge in play through 60 minutes, but the Swedish superstar was ultimately the story
Vancouver Whitecaps fans have longed for entertainment and a show. There is no bigger show than Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“I think this is kind of sad. It’s for him, and it should be for us,” Caps midfielder Felipe told Stu Walters at halftime. Their final-third passing nearly cracked 70 per cent, and they had the lion’s share — sorry, Zlatan — of chances in the first 60 minutes of the game. “Our possession in the first half in big parts of the game was good. We were able to push our team high to originate chances. We need to start putting in.
Where he did show his quality was on the vertical runs, cutting through the defence and overpowering his defenders on a few occasions, including the first half when he got on the back side of a tipped Adnan pass and fired a low, hard shot that was saved by Bingham.
