STARTING XI
11 - Darren Mattocks
Absolutely terrible performance, missing almost every shot he took. Looked completely unmotivated by the end of the game, and should have been subbed off rather than Fernandez.
10 - Ethen Sampson
Not prepared for the MLS quite yet, getting caught out of position multiple times, letting shots through on goal, and showing he's still U-23 quality for the time-being. His inexperience was fully exploited by D.C. prior to his substitution due to injury.
9 - Sebastian Fernandez
While Mattocks couldn't finish, Fernandez looked non-existent up in the front two as a striker for the 'Caps. While he was able to set up a few passes to Mattocks, he didn't show the finishing qualities of a striker, and although that is one of the positions he has played before, he looks a better fit as a midfielder.
8 - Matias Laba
Below average performance for Laba as the holding midfielder in the diamond formation for the game, and wasn't able to create plays as he has in the past. Unremarkable game from the Argentine.
7 - Andy O'Brien
Struggled to pick up some of Sampson's slack on the right side of the defence, and wasn't able to play up to his usual standards.
6 - Mauro Rosales
Starting to find his footing with the 'Caps, but seemed to lack the passion from his first few games in the white and blue. Seemed to be ineffective on the wing, and performed much better as an attacking midfielder in the past.
5 - Jordan Harvey
Performed well and made up well for the lack of Beitashour as the opposite halfback. Harvey was able to make good runs up the field, and even got a few good shots on goal.
4 - Russell Teibert
Managed to play aggressively, and played much better as a winger in the midfield than as a holding midfielder with Laba. Seemed to reignite some of his old passion tonight, and created some great chances.
3 - Pedro Morales
Morales has the potential to be amazing for the Whitecaps, if he was provided with a scoring striker. Pedro set up many attempts on goal, while firing shots off at Hamid from distance. Played well, but his strikers, or lack thereof, could not finish.
2 - Kendall Waston
The official man of the match played his best game with the 'Caps tonight, providing well needed stability in the back, while maintaining his physical presence in United's end on corner kicks. Waston has the potential to be a great all-around player with more development in the future.
1 - David Ousted
As seems to have become a regular occurrence, Ousted managed to salvage a point for the Whitecaps again tonight. As usual, the keeper leapt, dove, and punched to save all of United's attempts on goal.
SUPER SUBS
3 - Mehdi Ballouchy
Completely invisible for his 25 minutes on the field, raising quite a few eyebrows coming on for Rosales. Didn't seem to play with any effort, or create any offensive attempts for Vancouver.
2 - Kekuta Manneh
Provided much needed relief in replace of Fernandez, and added his usual pace to the Whitecaps front line. Kekuta created some great attempts in front of D.C.'s goal with his limited time on the field, and has proven he should be a starter.
1 - Sam Adekugbe
The 19-year-old Canadian performed far above his age today, replacing the injured Sampson, and playing at a top-level for the time he was able to play, providing great defensive support while also creating offensive attempts. Most definitely the future of the 'Caps, putting in an amazing effort in his limited time in the second half.
