Vancouver 3 STL City 2.

[Rosthol]

Just can’t hold a lead.

That and the extremely soft penalties Vancouver was given.

Not sure what the point of having VAR is if you're going to let those PKs stand. Needed to make sure that Muller got a goal in his first MLS match? I guess MLS is vying with the WNBA for having the worst officiating.

Unfortunate to happen after the 2 great efforts on the City goals. Wallem's nice feed to Lowen for the header and Klauss shaking off the defenders to slide one home.

MLS needs to answer for what happened in that match but all St. Louis will get is silence. Very frustrating.

It wasn't his first MLS match.

The Whitecaps had 12 men last night.

No doubt.

Definitely some dubious penalties in that match. City SC just can't seem to catch a break this season.

Dubious is putting it very nicely, when in fact both were bad and the 2nd one was borderline criminal. And on top of that, to add 10 minutes at the end of the match was absurd and did nothing more than allow Vancouver the opportunity to win.

[Rosthol]

It almost makes you think that the league was giving Mueller a little help to win his first game.

The penalty that went to VAR wasn't called a penalty initially.

[Rosthol]

Borderline criminal is right.

That's the Liverpool rule. Keep playing extra minutes until Liverpool wins or equalizes.

[Rosthol]

Exactly.
