The home fans at BC Place have now sat through 180 minutes of MLS play without a goal to celebrate. Against Toronto FC on Saturday afternoon, the Vancouver Whitecaps put in an all too familiar performance, ending in a 2-0 defeat after Brek Shea was sent off for dissent.
The first half was a dull affair. Missing Sebastian Giovinco, Toronto looked content to clog the midfield. Missing a functional midfield, the Whitecaps looked content to pass the ball around in defense and send long balls forward for Fredy Montero or Brek Shea.
