Three things: How the 'Caps beat the MLS leaders and earned their first win of 2019

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC got their first win of the 2019 season on Wednesday, defeating league-leaders LAFC 1-0 at BC Place.

Here are three things that stood out to me.

FIRST WIN FOR MDS

It’s as if it was written in the stars.

Marc Dos Santos earned his first victory as an MLS head coach on Wednesday, and it so happened to come against his former club LAFC, where he was an assistant to Bob Bradley in 2018. LAFC also happen to be top of the table in MLS, having come into BC Place with an unbeaten 6W-0L-1D record and a whopping +14 goal differential.
