Kim Kee-hee and Stefan Frei combined for a wild defensive stand at the death, allowing the Seattle Sounders to preserve a scoreless draw against Cascadia Cup rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place on Saturday.
The contest was scoreless in the game’s dying moments when the Whitecaps broke loose on a counterattack and substitute Joaquin Ardaiz lashed a shot that was saved by a diving Frei. The shot deflected to Inbeom Hwang on the far post, and Kim dove to block the shot. Kim was initially whistled for a penalty kick and given a yellow card, but referee Robert Sibiga called if off following Video Review and rescinded Kim’s caution.
