Unfortunately for the Vancouver Whitecaps, their run of home form came to an end on Saturday night at BC Place with a 3-2 loss to the visiting Portland Timbers.
It was a match that gradually gained momentum throughout, as the first half was mostly a cautious affair spent in patient build-up and possession. Yet, by the time we got to the final minutes, it was a wide-open free for all, which certainly made for an entertaining watch.
The match had a bit of everything, and at the end of the day, it did feel a bit unkind for the Whitecaps to walk away without a point.
