LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – Vancouver Whitecaps FC edged United Soccer League expansion side Las Vegas Lights FC 3-2 on Saturday night in a hotly-contested preseason match at Cashman Field.
Cristian Techera opened the scoring for Vancouver 13 minutes in, cooling chipping Lights FC goalkeeper Angel Alvarez after some fine work on the right flank by Nicolas Mezquida and Kei Kamara.
Whitecaps FC doubled their lead on a quick counter-attack in the 18th minute, as Alphonso Davies went on a magnificent run that started in his own box and ended with a low shot from close range.
