Isaac Boehmer decides it from twelve yards
3 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Vancouver Whitecaps march on in the cup
New York Red Bulls are out and Vancouver Whitecaps go through, 1‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Nobody could get near Emmanuel Sabbi
Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Ranko Veselinović in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Vancouver Whitecaps this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Vancouver Whitecaps supporters have found a favourite in Kenji Cabrera
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kenji Cabrera has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The manager makes an example of Isaac Boehmer
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Ninety minutes of Kenji Cabrera at his very best
Marked 8.31. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Vancouver Whitecaps.

Cheikh Sabaly was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.20. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The kick that got away from Bruno Caicedo
Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.
