Two teams in the Western Conference of MLS will do battle today in a match between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Sporting Kansas City. The first-division clash scheduled for 9 p.m. ET will be held at BC Place in Vancouver and can be live streamed here.
What They’re Saying
Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson (via MLS): “We did play some good football, but there’s no point in playing good football if you switch off and don’t do the basics in defending. You can analyze both goals, and individuals didn’t do their jobs and their roles and responsibilities.”
Sporting Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes: “I think our style of play is a little more evolved and I think that’s what has been able to get us the kind of results we’re getting right now.”
The In-Form Player
Octavio Rivero has enjoyed great success since joining from O’Higgins in Chile. In 19 appearances, the 23-year-old has seven goals and three assists.
