RSL U-17s Win 5-4 Thriller Over Vancouver

Real Salt Lake U-17s 5-4 Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-17s

Real Salt Lake U-17s and Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-17s closed its 2018 Generation adidas Fall Regional outing on Monday morning in what turned out to be one of the tournament’s most exciting matches.

Vancouver started the match on fire as Emiliano Brienza fired the Canadian side in front after just six minutes for the early lead. Whitecaps FC doubled its advantage in the 17th minute when Kamron Habibullah latched onto a wonderful through ball before burying a breakaway inside the box. Tomas Ribeiro added a third goal for Vancouver when he received a ball near the penalty area before turning to fire a shot into the top corner of the net to extend the impressive second half lead.
