Vancouver takes the first Cascadia Cup match of the season with a 2-1 away win at Seattle, in a game that saw three dead ball goals over the course of ninety minutes.
After two disappointing losses to start the season, where Vancouver was showing little resemblance to last season's defensive form, the Whitecaps got exactly what they needed in an early season Cascadia Cup win away to Seattle, walking out of SoDo with a 2-1 victory.
With the back line troubles on full display after losses to Montreal Impact and Sporting Kansas City, Carl Robinson drew Fraser Aird back in to the starting lineup in place of the suspended Jordan Smith, while Christian Bolaños, fresh off his own suspension, made it back into the starting eleven in place of Deybi Flores.
