Vancouver Whitecaps drew 1-1 with Colorado Rapids in Major League Soccer action at BC Place in Vancouver Saturday.
But looking at the statistics for this game, it’s hard to believe it ended goalless.
Colorado Keeper William Yarbrough created a new club record of clean sheets, which may have gone some way to reflect the result.
Vancouver Whitecaps began the game on the front foot. But it was to no avail, despite pressure on the Rapids goal from Brian White.
Takaoka the hero with penalty save
It wasn’t all one-way traffic. The Rapids’ Barrios, Rubio and Rosenberry all went close shooting wide. The Rapids looked to have gone ahead in the second-half when Danny Wilson toed the ball over the line. But Lalas Abubakar was adjudged to have fouled Whitecaps keeper Yohei Takaoka.
And the Whitecaps Keeper become the hero when he saved Diego Rubio’s penalty in 78th minute, after Javain Brown’s clumsy challenge brought down Jonathan Lewis in the box.
A point will help neither team, as they both languish in the bottom half of the Western Conference table.
