It was far from the

best performance, but they got what they deserved in the end Nice to see the way they finished strongly after a choppy 2nd half and made sure their earlier missed chances didn't go to waste

One of Vancouver’s most complete road performances of the season. The Whitecaps carved through San Diego with ease at times, Brian White delivered, and the depth pieces stepped up in a convincing 4-2 win.

FT Thoughts: -San Diego made an early push in the second half, but once Vancouver found a third, it was cruise mode from there. -Müller and White showed their class. -Decent showing from the depth wingers. -Tough one for Boehmer.

I can't explain how good Boehmer looks at training sometimes, but he just has a habit of letting in those awkward goals in match action. Hard to know what the issue is there. 4-2.

HT Thoughts: -Quiet start, but Vancouver dominant from about min 20 onward. -SD looks like a mess at the back, not handling Vancouver's press at all. -Nice to see VWFC attack a bit more directly when needed. -White with the goals, but also a great half from AZ.

FT Thoughts: -Probably should have ended 0-0 but Houston got one at the death. -Red card was debatable, but so is Takaoka's decision making. -Team looked gassed at the end of a big week. -Nice to see Müller back, solid from Jeevan. AZ and Cabrera continue to frustrate.

HT Thoughts: -A bit of a strange choppy half, with the long delay. -Vancouver in control, but a bit too loose with players committed high up the pitch. -Houston has talent, but looks a bit out of sync in attack. -With Cabrera on a yellow, maybe we see a new mix up front?

A bit of a blender from Sørensen, except for the backline. Müller back at the ten, Jeevan kicks out wide, and Kenji gets a start for the first time in a while. Larraz for Cubas in the midfield.
