After managing their first home win of the season Wednesday, the thought of the Vancouver Whitecaps building some positive momentum against an Orlando City side that had conceded more goals than any other team in the East prior to kick-off looked like a real possibility.
As he promised, Marc Dos Santos shook up his formation and rotated his starting XI as they went into their third game in just over a week. The Whitecaps went with a 5-3-2 formation for the first time this season, with five changes being made in the shape of Derek Cornelius, Fredy Montero and Felipe Martins being brought into the fold.
