VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - The Vancouver Whitecaps and Philadelphia Union settled for a 0-0 draw Sunday night in the Major League Soccer opener for both teams.
The Whitecaps' best opportunity came in the 66th minute. Defender Jordan Harvey took a corner kick from midfielder Cristian Techera and let go a left-footed shot. Goalkeeper Andre Blake was beaten, but defender Keegan Rosenberry blocked the shot.
Philadelphia's Chris Pontius had a chance in the 16th minute with a header, but Harvey cleared the ball.
In a bid to create more offence, Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson substituted new striker Fredy Montero and recently acquired forward Brek Shea into the match in the 59th minute.
