False start: Caps battered 4-0 against Columbus Crew in 2022 debut

Maybe if we try turning the 2022 Whitecaps off and back on again, things will go better.

The Caps were battered in their first match of the year, falling 4-0 to Columbus Crew and lower.com Field in a match that was one to forget from start to finish.

Two first half goals left Vancouver a mountain to climb and Jake Nerwinski’s second yellow card of the afternoon buried the odds of a second half comeback.

For their first starting XI of the year, Vanni Sartini had to get creative without a couple key pieces.
