I'm excited for the Vancouver Whitecaps! They have won their first match at BC Place...this will make it their 5th win this year. The win came against a team that they were originally scheduled to play in July but due to an insane amount of rainfall at Empire Stadium, was forced to cancel the match for another time.
Real Salt Lake City fell 3-0 to the Vancouver Whitecaps tonight. I was unable to go due to feeling under the weather since the weekend home openers at BC Place but am trying to get better for this weekend's Lions game. Eric Hassli was not playing in tonight's match due to a one game suspension from receiving too many yellow cards.
The first goal came from Camilo on a penalty shot and the 'Caps were up 1-0 before halftime. The second goal came shortly after the match restarted after halftime on another penalty kick by Camilo to make it 2-0. The third goal came from winger, Nizar Khalfan to seal the deal with a 3-0 win in front of a hometown crowd of 20,113 fans.
From what I hear, the crowd was loud and energetic and the Whitecaps were hungry for a win on home ground after losing to Portland on Sunday night. The fans are amazing and always so loyal to the Whitecaps even though they haven't won a ton of games. I hope this continues and our team evolves next year to somewhere near the top of the standings instead of being dead last.
The next game is on Wednesday, October 12 when they will host D.C. United at Bell Pitch downtown at BC Place. Come down and support your soccer team. I'll be there! :)
