Tosaint Ricketts scored in the 74th minute following an exceptional run and cross from Ali Adnan, and the Vancouver Whitecaps held on to spoil Chicharito's home debut in a 1-0 victory over the LA Galaxy on Saturday night at Dignity Health Sports Park.
The fullback Adnan was also part of an excellent defensive effort against the talent-laden Galaxy, which had only one effort on target all night.
Just moments after going behind, LA were reduced to 10 men after Joe Corona received his second caution after giving the ball away to Russell Teibert and then stepping on the midfielder's foot.
