"The Whitecaps are currently second in the Western Conference, but could move above San Diego FC if they beat the Portland Timbers in their next match. That will be the first of two games in hand for Vancouver, who recently beat Eastern Conference leaders the Philadelphia Union 7-0 and qualified for the Canadian Championship finals. The Whitecaps' 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City last time out saw them set a new club record for regular-season points, reaching the 55-point mark for the first time."
""I just think throughout the season we have just been playing well and focusing on performance rather than results or the standings. "So, I don't know if everything is coming our way, but we are playing up to our standards and our standards look good. "The most positive thing is that we look solid again defensively and we create a lot of chances, and that's what I am looking at.""
Vancouver Whitecaps sit second in the MLS Western Conference and can move above San Diego FC with a win over the Portland Timbers. Vancouver have two games in hand and recently defeated Philadelphia Union 7-0, qualifying for the Canadian Championship finals. A 2-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City set a new club record with 55 regular-season points. Head coach Jesper Sorensen emphasizes consistent performance, defensive solidity and chance creation rather than focusing on standings. The Timbers dropped points after a 1-0 loss to Houston, falling to seventh in the West. Emmanuel Sabbi is highlighted as a player to watch amid other availability concerns.
