Impressive finishing from Gauld and Veselinović secured the home win 2-1 against Real Salt Lake in their previous game. World class coaching!

Veselinović, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.6. Veselinović scored one goal and won 3 of 3 duels.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vancouver as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. The Vancouver Whitecaps manager Sartini has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
