Riding high from last week’s monumental victory over their Cascadian Rivals, the Whitecaps looked to build upon their performance as the pieces of their team slowly fall into place. Starting with the same lineup as the week prior could have been disappointing, but the options off the bench were vastly improved, and some looked more appealing than those who started on the field. The match today could have held an asterisk, due to Toronto having an important CONCACAF Champions League tie against Cruz Azul midweek and wanting to take things easy, and truth be told, the Reds were for the most part following this trend, at least until late in the second half.
