The visitors from LAFC turned it up when they needed to, then simmered their way to a first\u002Dleg victory over the Whitecaps on Wednesday night
If there was a bright side, it was that few of the Vancouver faithful saw it. An announced crowd of 11,000 — an exceedingly optimistic number — took in the game at the Dome. Only those who’d paid for a OneSoccer subscription or had cable through Telus got a chance to watch the broadcast.
The best scoring chance for both teams came from Blackmon, who took advantage of some apathetic clearing attempts by LAFC to lash a shot across goal, with only a diving fingertip save from John McCarty steering it wide of the net.Article content Yohei Takaoka did his part to preserve the stalemate in the 55th, setting to a short Kellyn Acosta cross in front of Opoku, who was lurking behind him, ready for a goal line tap-in.
Six minutes later, the Caps’ away goal hole got deeper, with Opoku taking advantage of some lazy play by Andres Cubas in the box, sliding home a loose ball from 10 yards out into an open net.
