VANCOUVER — On a night of celebration, the Vancouver Whitecaps endured their fair share of challenges as they played to a 0-0 draw against Austin FC on Saturday at BC Place.
With 32,465 fans on hand for the Whitecaps’ 50th anniversary match — a team record for the Whitecaps’ MLS era — the club settled for a second straight draw to bring their record to 5-2-3 for the year, while snapping a two-game winning streak for Austin .
The tone was set in the 19th minute, when an apparent goal by captain Ryan Gauld was called back after a hand ball was identified before the shot. Instead, Picault and Austin defender Guilherme Biro were both shown yellow cards for poor sportsmanship, and a skirmish ensued between the two sides as they headed to their locker rooms, leading to a yellow card for Austin captain Sebastian Driussi.
The Whitecaps continued to dominate possession and get chances in the second half. In the 52nd minute, Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver dove to get a hand on a point-blank shot by Raposo, then Alessandro Schopf fired the rebound just wide.
