It finished goalless at Allianz Field as Minnesota United and Vancouver Whitecaps played out a 0-0 draw in MLS. A lack of goals does not tell the full story, as the home side created the clearer openings despite seeing far less of the ball.
Neither side could find a breakthrough; Vancouver dominated possession with 64%, but Minnesota had the better of the chances. The visitors had three yellow cards, with Mamadou Dieng (17'), Jeevan Badwal (24') and Michael Boxall (87') all booked. The Loons missed all three of their big chances, while the Whitecaps failed to carve out a single one.
The numbers show Minnesota edged the expected goals 1.10 to 0.41 and had three big chances to Vancouver's zero, but they left them all untaken. Both goalkeepers kept clean sheets, with Dayne St. Clair making five saves and Yohei Takaoka making three as the points were shared.
