A pair of decades long names in North American soccer went at it and the team coached by former NY Cosmos coach, Giovanni Saverese took the game on the 2nd stanza goal by Yimmi Chara, one of a few brothers not just in the league but on the same team. This win was big in terms of the playoffs. Now, come next Sunday, the 'Caps face a must win to even be in the running to get beyond the 'Quakes in the table. They will face the Galaxy wiithout Baldisimo, out due to yellow cards. The league is considering how to get the postponed game between the 'Quakes & LAFC played in advance of Decision Day, should it not be, the 'Quakes get the last 2nd season seat.
At the 60' mark, a number of tight passes and a cross from Villafana was the assist for Yimmi. That strike may have awakened the beast as Vancouver then got off a dozen shots, 4 by Cavallini but the #1 Timbers held strong.
