The Vancouver Whitecaps earned their first pre-season victory of 2017, topping the Oxford United FC U-23 squad 4-0 in the UK on Monday morning. The format was a tad different, with the two sides playing three, 30 minute periods.
Head Coach Carl Robinson went with the same starting lineup as Friday’s 1-0 loss to the Cardiff City U-23’s, including David Ousted in net, and Tim Parker and Christian Dean pairing at Center Back. Rookie Jacob Nerwinski and the veteran Jordan Harvey took their spot on the wings, with Matias Laba and Andrew Jacobson in the defensive midfield.
