As expected, the Whitecaps-Islanders match was a tough slog for both sides. The field was in questionable condition and the quality of play was largely reflective of that. Neither team scored, which probably suited the Whitecaps just fine as the series returns to Vancouver for the final leg.
Whitecaps Play To Scoreless Draw Against Puerto Rico Islanders; Montreal Leads 1-0
86 Forever’s Benjamin Massey probably said it best:
While it’s pandering to a cliche to say it, it’s also so obvious that it has to be mentioned: in the adverse conditions, it was clear the Whitecaps were tiring faster than their opponents. It was obvious that was going to happen and it could hardly happen otherwise.
In the day’s other match, the Montreal Impact took a 1-0 aggregate lead on Leonardo Di Lorenzo’s goal. That match now heads back to Carolina.
