SAINT PAUL, MN – Behind a complete team effort, Vancouver Whitecaps FC battled to a scoreless draw against Minnesota United FC in their first visit to Allianz Field on Saturday evening.
The ‘Caps were unfortunate not to take the victory on the night, outshooting the home side 5-1 in shots on target.
For the first time in their MLS history, the ‘Caps started five Canadians, with Maxime Crépeau, Doneil Henry, Derek Cornelius, Russell Teibert, and Theo Bair all getting the nod.
The Loons came out firing in front of their home crowd of 19,845 at Allianz Field, with midfielder Ethan Finlay testing Crépeau early with a left-footed shot from inside the box that drifted just wide of the goal.
