FT Thoughts:
- #VWFC had to hold on for long moments of the 2nd, but they got the job done
- Dreyer was a threat, but 'Caps did well to minimize his effectiveness
- Ahmed, Sabbi, entire midfield were absolute beasts
- What a dumb 🟥 to take
- Takaoka with several monster saves
November 30, 2025 at 4:09 AM
90+2' - Lozano is lucky this isn't hockey. Going after a GK after they've smothered the ball? He's lucky to leave the pitch with all his teeth.

#VWFC

90' - Oh, what a save by Takaoka!

#VWFC
November 30, 2025 at 4:02 AM
89' - Priso, you beauty!!

#VWFC
November 30, 2025 at 4:02 AM
88' - SUBS - Bovalina, Badwal and Nelson are on. Ahmed, Ocampo and Cubas are off.

#VWFC

83' - White off the post! Cabrera skies the rebound.

#VWFC

79' - 🟥 -Sisneiga is off on a straight red. DOGSO on Gauld.

#VWFC
November 30, 2025 at 3:52 AM
74' - SUB - Cabrera is on for Sabbi.

#VWFC
November 30, 2025 at 3:47 AM
63' - Gauld gets the ball to Sabbi. Sabbi cuts in, beautiful shot that beats Sisneiga, but not Duah, who comes back and heads it off the line.

#VWFC
November 30, 2025 at 3:36 AM
61' - SUB - Müller is off for Gauld.

60' - GOAL - Lozano comes in at the half and is making a difference. Ball takes a big deflection off Johnson.

3-1
#VWFC
November 30, 2025 at 3:34 AM
60' - 🟨 - Cubas. Tverskov sold that.

HT Thoughts:
- Midfield battle being won by #VWFC
- Ahmed has been busy attacking Pilcher
- San Diego had better final 15' of the 1st half, but White's 2nd goal was immense
- 'Caps cannot take the foot off the gas. They can't let San Diego back in the game as they did with LAFC
November 30, 2025 at 3:03 AM
45+2' - GOAL - White chests the ball in from Ahmed's excellent cross!

There are no words to describe how important this goal is.

Just remembering that Tristan Blackmon was atop everyone's big board for the 2021 expansion draft, and I still don't think Charlotte FC got enough flack for punting on a free claim on a sure-thing defender.

35' - Almost a pinball goal that benefits San Diego!

Takaoka has no chance as the ball hits his knee and bounces through his legs. Thankfully, it goes wide of the post.

#VWFC
November 30, 2025 at 2:51 AM
33' - Berhalter. Cubas. Müller.

#VWFC is winning the midfield battle.
November 30, 2025 at 2:48 AM
22' - Priso's awareness at CB is so good.

The Whitecaps are off to a 2-0 lead against San Diego at Snapdragon Stadium.

Hearing over 7,000 fans made their way to BC Place to watch this as well and many made the trip.

Canadian sports fans don’t disappoint.

20' - Berhalter has a quality chance as the ball falls to him at the edge of the 18-yd box. But he doesn't get a clean shot off. Sisniega smothers it.

I had said in my pre-match notes that the first goal was imperative. I never expected #VWFC would be up 2 to 0, 11 minutes in.
