VANCOUVER, BC – A sublime 30-yard Cristian Techera free kick salvaged a 1-1 draw for Vancouver Whitecaps FC (6W-6L-2D) on Saturday night against FC Dallas (6W-3L-6D).
“The Bug,” who now has four goals on the season, brought the game level in the 74th minute after FC Dallas striker Maximiliano Urruti opened the scoring early in the second half, rescuing a point for the injury-riddled ‘Caps in front of a sold-out crowd of 22,100 at BC Place.
Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson was forced to make three changes to his starting lineup following a 3-1 win over Atlanta two weeks ago, as right back Jake Nerwinski, midfielder Russell Teibert, and winger Brek Shea replaced Sheanon Williams (suspended), Christian Bolaños and Kendall Waston – the latter two suffered injuries while away with Costa Rica on international duty.
