#VANvSKC | #VWFC | #SportingKC | #MLS | 🤖⚽
And Badwal!
#VWFC remain top of the MLS table with their 3-0 win over Sporting Kansas City tonight. It'll stay that way over the rest of the weekend's matches.
FT Thoughts:
- Best game from Sabbi this season
- Müller looking like he was last season
- Another match with no goals against with Cubas on the pitch
- Nice to see Djordjevic get debut
- Caicedo, Cabrera, Sabbi, Sabaly...add Gauld when healthy; so much depth on the wing
#VWFC
81' - SUBS - Sabaly and Djordjevic are on. Sabbi and Ocampo are off.
It's a senior team debut for Djordjevic!
#VWFC
75' - What a switch of play by Cabrera. Finds Sabbi, who plays in Ocampo.
Shot is just wide of the far post.
#VWFC
73' - SUBS - Elloumi and Larraz are coming on. Berhalter and White are off.
#VWFC
68' - 🟨 - Berhalter.

65' - First shot for SKC. Excellent block by Blackmon.
#VWFC
63' - SUB - Cabrera is on for Caicedo.
#VWFC
#VWFC attendance: 21,777
18th consecutive MLS match with over 20K in attendance at BC Place.
53' - Four blocked shots in a matter of seconds. #VWFC sense more than just blood in the water.
Absolutely. This and even last match was better too.
HT Thoughts:
- #VWFC are running rampant over SKC
- Sabbi is on fire tonight
- Cubas going hunting; love to see
- Capita has tried to create for SKC, but finding it difficult
- Caicedo has been a joy to watch
Not certain, but Vancouver SKC was the single most lopsided pre-match prediction on ASA’s single match projection model, at 91% Whitecaps win probability.
Honestly too low.
37' - Sabbi catches Agyabeng flat-footed, makes space and hits a beautiful shot...into the crossbar. It bounces on the line. White gets a head on the rebound, but it's over the net.
#VWFC
I was telling @ndurec.bsky.social up here in the press box that I wouldn't be surprised if the Whitecaps were up 3-0 before halftime. It only took 28 minutes. Solid effort by Sabbi to keep the ball in and Thomas Müller buries the header!
#VWFC
28' - GOAL - Are you kidding me?! Sabbi races to keep the ball in at the far right flag. He gets up, crosses into the 6-yd box where Müller stands, ready for the header.
3-0 #VWFC
23' - GOAL - Caicedo gets his first in #VWFC colours! Poor pass from Pulskamp is grabbed by Caicedo, who moves in from the left and unleashes a low shot at the far post, past the extended keeper!
2-0 'Caps
18' - What a tackle by Cubas! Excellent precision!
#VWFC
13' - GOAL - Sabbi! Berhalter forward to Müller. Absolutely beautiful by the German to get it to White on the right of the 6-yd box. He puts it in for Laborda, who gets chopped down. But Sabbi is there and pounces!
If not a goal, that would have been an easy penalty shout.
#VWFC
2' - #VWFC with a solid chance less than two minutes in. Sabbi's header is just wide of the near post, but excellent cross in from Ocampo.
Game on!
#vwfc
Caicedo gets his first start as a #VWFC player. Sabbi starts on the right wing.
Everyone else? You could write this lineup and print it days ahead.
On the @terminalcityfc.bsky.social podcast, @joshuarey.bsky.social and I talked about SKC and whether Wicky would have a job after tonight.
Odds-on favourites have to be #VWFC, by a long shot.
#VWFC availability:
- Adekugbe (Achilles)
- Gauld (knee)

It's the top and bottom of the West who take battle today!
#VWFC (6W-0D-1L) take on Sporting Kansas City (1W-1D-5L) at BC Place.
Historically, this has been an even battle. The 'Caps are 12W-6D-13L vs. SKC.
