HIGHLIGHTS: Minnesota United FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | July 3, 2024

As they're going to make three changes. And the most interesting one is going to be Alex getting his MLS debut in goal, the goal keeper getting his debut but also just in front of him, you see the three in the back line pe T and B. Meanwhile, for the Vancouver Whitecaps, they're going to make two changes from their win against then Bradley Carnell side, perhaps it is going to be the and the sellout crowd at Allianz Field that could potentially put an end to the losing ways that Minnesota United have been enduring. Vancouver looking to make it back to back wins on the bounce. We invite you to turn off the world. Minnesota United. They're still working back into full match fitness before he's going to future for Minnesota. He's missed the last several games. Of course, the sale of K and Arriaga the Fabulous Honduran as that's given away at the back chance here for Vancouver and they're on the board just like that a mistake for Minnesota United and it is punished and who else? Brian White, his fourth goal in two games and the White caps draw first blood, the traveling supporters love it. One nil to Vanni Sartini side just doesn't put enough weight on the pass. Simple playing out of the back. You see the switch there. No big deal from Tapias and then Michael Box just a little too lax with the touch. Very patient in how they've been building through the offensive half of the field. They'll go short from the corner. They do have a numerical advantage called excellent looking ball in and it's two nil. Ryan go with his second assist and that's Lada with the finish. Vancouver are cruising in the twin cities. It's two to nil but two players going just behind him, completely unmarked. Nice little patient build up there and it's Ryan gall with the left foot. What about that service with some of the rivals in Portland and Seattle Takaoka gave it away. Can Minnesota capitalize long Taga off this line? It's Robin Lo and it's blocked away. Levante Johnson couldn't get an out from underneath his feet and the opportunity still remains at the feet of Minnesota decent ball whipped in, almost fell for Robin Hood and stabbed away. But this one's gonna be a video assistance to see if this is a penalty well done there to drive forward and make the service in. Robin Lord goes for the second one. It looks like it hits an arm on the way through from that angle there. It looked like it might have been Ranko Vasilovich. Yeah, it was Sinovic Bjorn Ludwig Joseph Rosales saved by Taco. Ok. Cleared away. Vancouver can do no wrong at the moment. A little Sutter step here he goes with the left foot as expected. Not quite far enough to the corner, in my opinion, be one but well done by Takaoka to go the right direction and palm that one away. Give that's quick to steer that clear ensuing quarter. Not a torch goal. And that was it. Minnesota finally get their reprieve and it's baggy long one, 21 here at Allianz. The save penalty. Rosales a really nice ripped ball in and it's a little header there for Maani Dodson along with the outset of the meanwhile, Vancouver trying to make it 3 to 1 and restore their two goal lead before the half time whistle and the set piece is an intriguing one but number two enticing I've witnessed it first hand. That's a clever little split from Asani Dotson sees the A it's Robin ST Joe Taoka was caught in no man's land and almost paid the price. He's got an abnormal center of gravity for a guy who's about 61 or 62. Rosales good looking ball in and it was Michael Bal, the former Vancouver man tried to atone for his sins earlier in the game and can't find the frame initially by Vancouver but in the wrong direction, it just trickles wide shaw trying to turn Rosales bearing down on him. Ere's pass is a miscue Vancouver recollect. This is more like it for the visitors per halter on the first time. And what a wonderful strike that is from Sebastian Balter against the run of play in the second half. And Berhalter guns blazing here at Allianz. Look at the ball circulation here that comes from a missed opportunity on a clearance. Couldn't quite get it from Devin Peder to Robin Hood and they keep possession and just a nice little lay back to find Sebastian balder. He knows he can't take more than one touch. The pressure's coming from Tapias and he curls it. You see the two runners right there long in top is trying to put the pressure on the ball and it curls in and hits the post and in they already put on. He's your best attacking option in these moments out of a Smith also available pap pa boggy long and what a save from Takaoka. He stayed big until the final moment. Somehow the South African couldn't find his brace restoring the two goal lead for Vancouver after Minnesota dominated the 1st 15 minutes of the second half. Here they come bwa again and he says that half way back to Minneapolis Rosales, but Helfert making the overlapping run back to the All star Robin Hood puts it in long with the header back into a dangerous area and there was too much snap on it. The fact that he even got it back all the way across the face of the six was impressive and a touch from up to be fair. The ball from Rosales had a bit of venom on it to it with excellent skill to get away from the challenge referee says, play on and that's what we'll do. Taylor all the way across and finds pe and just places it over the bar much better from Rosales and my goodness, Minnesota have missed another glaring opportunity This time off the head of Mickey Tapias. Can you talk about the points and where they're going to jump in the standings? And Danny Sartini mentioned that just talking about this being a six point game and they get their win two wins on the bounce for Vanni Sartini and the Vancouver Whitecaps. That's four wins in the last six games and they are very much back on the winning track.
