Three things

  • THE GREAT IMAGE: A factor of confidence for a result for Vancouver and Marc Dos Santos. He opted for a 5-3-2 at halftime, attacked the submarines after the red card and managed in one way or another to get out of the trap of substitutions. This is not pretty right now, but the character, cohesion and a favorite of Dos Santos – culture – come from this kind of night. On the other hand, Kansas City's sadness over the outcome should not stifle its self-confidence, namely that it remains perfectly capable of making a playoff series once in good health.
  • MOMENT OF THE GAMEYohan Croizet was the only Kansas City striker three minutes into the match, but he was significantly less likely than his opponent to approach the midfielder. Rather than seeking support or heading to the corner, he targeted Vancouver goaltender Maxime Crepeau 60 yards out. The young Canadian goalkeeper had enough time to recover and chest trap the lob somewhere around the penalty spot, then began possession that led to heroic Cornelius.
  • MAN OF THE GAME: Benny Feilhaber. With all due respect for the biggest night of Derek Cornelius' young career, Feilhaber won a tackle and immediately hit a perfect 40-yard diagonal of Johnny Russell to score Sporting's goal and was essential in his midfield.
