![]() ![]() Since losing their opening match of 2023, TFC came into this game unbeaten in their last three matches. Toronto FC came into this encounter on a bit of a roll at PayPal Park Saturday evening. Even though Minnesota was without eight regulars in the lineup, Vancouver stealing a point on the road sure felt like a victory after the final whistle blew. The stats indicated Vancouver controlled the march firing 23 shots toward goal and owning the possession of the ball with an incredible rate at 63 percent. Vancouver’s hard work paid off at the death, eight minutes into stoppage time Simon Becher found the back of the net. Playing down a goal for nearly 55 minutes, the Whitecaps never gave up and just kept putting the pressure on Minnesota’s backend. The Whitecaps have been burnt in the air this season and seemingly look hopeless when it comes to defending aerial set plays. The U-23 Columbian International was in the perfect spot to get the Loons on the board first. Minnesota United opened the score in the 40th minute with Mender Garcia heading in his second goal of the campaign. After failing to net a goal, the tone set in that this could be a long night for Vancouver and luck might not go their way. ![]() Caps center-forward Brian White rattled the post with a left-footed shot in the opening minute.
