VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC (5W-6L-1D) had their three-match MLS home winning streak snapped on Saturday evening as they fell 1-0 to D.C. United (4W-6L-2D) at BC Place.
Following Tuesday’s Amway Canadian Championship 2-1 semifinal win against Montreal Impact, where coach Carl Robinson opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation and a completely changed starting lineup, the ‘Caps decided to return to their more regularly featured 4-1-4-1 set-up. With holding midfielder Matias Laba suspended for the match (yellow card accumulation), Alphonso Davies came into the lineup at left wing, with Christian Bolaños moving centrally and Andrew Jacobson dropping deeper into Laba’s regular position.
