MLS Round 8: Orlando City
Away Game Day Info
Saturday, April 20th, Kickoff 12:00pm
The madmen went and did it! The Whitecaps slew the early-season giant!
Our Whitecaps held LAFC off the score sheet for the team’s second clean sheet of the season (and third clean sheet since April 27th, 2018), making Inbeom’s wicked strike after Adnan’s charging run and PC’s curling shot off post the game winner. First win of the season for us, first loss of the season for them. We finally got a bit of magic back at BC Place. Watch that goal again, it’ll do you good.
As for Orlando – it’s a long way away. The Whitecaps spent yesterday in the air trying to recover from the previous night’s exertions. MDS said it would be the same 18 that played Wednesday night going down south. Hopefully they stayed hydrated and managed to massage out the bumps and bruises.
Orlando City’s results have been a mixed bag this year, including two home losses out of four at home. Some of our players will be facing their former club and looking to send the Floridian crowd home disappointed.
