Vancouver Whitecaps v Minnesota United – The Top Of The Table Story In Pictures

Vancouver Whitecaps v Minnesota United – The Top Of The Table Story In Pictures

Say we are top of the league, say we are top of the league. Well, the Western Conference anyway.

It was a comfortable 3-0 win against Minnesota United that put Vancouver Whitecaps there. It could, and probably should, have been more, but it’s hard to grumble with what we got, especially the clean sheet at the end of the night.

Yordy Reyna, Erik Hurtado, and Brek Shea did the damage on the night to send the ‘Caps to the top of the summit. Best in the West baby. For now. Let’s make sure we stay there.

AFTN photographer Tom Ewasiuk was there to capture all the action before, during and after the game. Here’s his “Story In Pictures”, with a full Flickr slideshow at the end.

Best in the West baby!

    I’m still sort of shocked that we are top of the table. I know the west is pretty mediocre this season, but yeah, it’s still a pleasant surprise.
