Everyone knew going into Sunday’s match that it was a do-or-die game against LAFC at BC Place. Many had flashes of last year, where the Whitecaps faced this very team, in this very stadium, in this very same round of the playoffs. Safe to say, it did not go well for the ‘Caps then, so…

I don’t think anyone had that on their bingo cards. With the Whitecaps going into the match on a seven match winless streak, having lost their hosting duties due to a scheduling conflict and running on fumes, it looked all set-up for a pitiful end to the season. Well it was anything but, since the…
