Whitecaps, Sounders play to scoreless draw in first leg of MLS West semifinal
Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson suggested in the leadup to Sunday that the first leg of the Western Conference semifinal with the Seattle Sounders might be a chess match.
It turns out he was spot on.
Vancouver and Seattle combined for just one shot on target in a scoreless draw where both teams were content to play cautiously and avoid the big mistake at B.C Place Stadium.
“It was important we didn’t concede,” said Robinson. “That was the mindset.”
