It’s now been a full day (and then some) since the Vancouver Whitecaps netted their first win of the season against Los Angeles FC, and I’m damn well done over-analyzing three points that really could not have come too soon.
That said, the cohesion and decision making of the Whitecaps players on the pitch was very encouraging. The high pressure supplanted the LAFC attack and kept its backline on its heels for the first 45, while the second half saw some dogged defensive work from Vancouver.
It was certainly a great team effort, but how about the individual performances?
