SAN JOSE, Calif .– A pair of red cards canceled the Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday
The under-equipped club abandoned a 3-0 decision to the earthquakes in San Jose, Calif., extending Vancouver’s losing streak to three games
Despite the difficulties of the game, coach Marc Dos Santos continues to trust his team
« A team that is head down, they don’t play with two men running and trying and pushing And our guys have never stopped, » he said after Wednesday’s loss. « So me, I am 100% with the guys and with the effort they give «
The Whitecaps (5-11-0) had a promising first half, keeping the pressure on and spicing up San Jose goalkeeper T Marcinkowski with five shots on target
“For me, personally, it was like a game we could win,” said Vancouver forward Tosaint Ricketts
The veteran midfielder has been called up for defeating Carlos Fierro in a midfield battle He had previously been called up for cutting Cristian Espinoza on a tackle
« Unfortunately I think the referee kills the game when he sends Andy, » said the coach, « And it’s a shame for the game it was, for the pace and intensity of the game »
Dos Santos disagreed with the red card Erik Godoy received in the 75th minute The ‘Caps defender was booked after some scrambling in Quakes left midfielder Jackson Yueill on the pitch The piece was video reviewed but confirmed
« If it’s a red card, man, the league is going to have to give a lot of red cards, » Dos Santos said, adding that the Whitecaps will ask Major League Soccer to review the decision
If the exam fails, Godoy and Rose will be suspended when the Whitecaps host Real Salt Lake at their temporary home in Portland on Saturday
After keeping San Jose off the board in the first half, the ‘Caps conceded a 50th-minute goal on a long shot from Espinoza
The goal was only the second of the season for the Argentine designated player and his first since July 19
Andres Rios and Paul Marie also scored for the Quakes (5-6-5), who notched their third consecutive victory Tommy Thompson recorded a pair of assists
Vancouver goalie Evan Bush made five saves Wednesday in his first performance for the Caps
The 34-year-old from Concord Township, Ohio is the fourth goaltender to start for the club this season
Vancouver acquired Bush from the Montreal Impact on September 28 after Thomas Hasal’s season was interrupted by a concussion and a stress fracture in his left tibia
The veteran goalie has been with the Impact since 2011, having participated in 176 regular season games where he made 562 saves and won 40 clean sheets, but had not started a game in MLS since September 21, 2019
“I don’t think he was faulted in the goal,” said the coach “He brings a calming presence He’s just settled in with the team and overall I think that it was a positive match for him «
Vancouver were the only Canadian club in MLS to abandon a decision on Wednesday Toronto FC won a 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution and the Montreal Impact broke a four-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over Columbus SC
Defeat drops’ Caps to bottom of Western Conference standings alongside LUNE Galaxy Both clubs are tied with 15 points, four points out of playoff position
The Whitecaps know how dire the situation is and must keep fighting, said Ricketts
« It will be a battle from now on », he said « Every game is crucial, every point is crucial It will take a lot of effort from all of us in the last matches »
NOTES: Midfielders Russell Teibert and Leonard Owusu returned to Vancouver’s 11th start after missing games due to injuries… Whitecaps forward Lucas Cavallini and midfielder Janio Bikel were absent from the game due to suspensions… The Whitecaps were without defender Jasser Khmiri who was called up to the Tunisian national team
