Somehow the cool breeze that blew in off False Creek wasn’t enough to slow down the UANL Tigres and open the door for an upset of mammoth proportions. All week the Whitecaps were praying for rain to make life uncomfortable for the Mexican team, and for once they didn’t get their wish. However, the ‘Caps wouldn’t need it, because, while they ultimately lost the game and were eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions League semi-finals by a 4-1 aggregate score, the Vancouver Whitecaps showed up and were in it right near the end.
You could tell from the opening whistle the game would not be a repeat of the ball possession dominance Tigres showed in the opening leg.
