With key attackers Yordy Reyna and Cristian Techera hobbled, Vancouver had to settle for a 0-0 playoff draw at home against Seattle
As soon as the Vancouver Whitecaps released their starting lineup for Sunday's Western Conference semifinal first leg against Seattle, it was clear the Cascadia clash wouldn't be a shootout.
Peruvian playmaker Yordy Reyna and Cristian Techera, one of Vancouver's most dynamic midfielders, were left out of the lineup due to minor injuries, leaving Carl Robinson to deploy a squad better equipped to keep goals out than score them. Sunday's match bore that out, as the Whitecaps and Sounders played to a lackluster 0-0 draw at BC Place.
