Portland vs Caps #2

Portland got 1 at 49 minutes but couldn't find the second so we take it 2-1 on aggregate. It is very nice watching the Timbers Army serenade their players to end the playoffs just like last year.

20+ fouls called on the Whitecaps, double what Portland got, but they didn't make much happen out of it. The announcers for Portland are honest and were saying "bad call" even when it went Portland's way. Fun nail biter of a game to watch.

Onward!

It was very much a tale of two halves. The Whitecaps could very well have doubled their 2-0 result at Swangard, whereas it was mostly a defensive blanket at Merlo.

True. The Caps looked to be in a 4-5-1 most of the night. Really shut down the middle and Gage looked very good defensively at RB. Not the offensive threat that Wes Knight is but you could tell Portland went at him a lot hoping to force a mistake. All the other players stuck to the coach's gameplan and played a very strong positional game.
