PORTLAND, Ore. – Playing the last of a two-match home stand, T2 fell 1-0 to Whitecaps FC 2 at Providence Park on Sunday afternoon.
Whitecaps FC 2 (2-1-1, 7pts) took the lead late in the match when forward Thomas Sanner finished from inside the six-yard box following a rebounded save from goalkeeper Jeff Attinella in the 84th minute. Shortly after, Portland defender Zarek Valentin was played into a pocket of space by defender Chance Myers inside the 18-yard box, and Valentin’s ensuing shot was fired just high over the goal in the 86th minute. A minute later, second-half substitute Augustine Williams directed the ball to Victor Arboleda, who finished the match with a game-high six shots, at the top of the box, but his volleyed attempt went over the target in the 87th minute for T2 (0-5-0, 0pts).
