BURNABY, BC – Whitecaps FC 2 fell 1-0 to Timbers2 in a Friday evening match at Swangard Stadium.

Goalkeeper Sam Rogers was called into action in the 11th minute, making a save on a long strike.

In the 64th minute, WFC2 had a good chance as the freshly subbed in Marko Popović was in on goal, but was stopped on the breakaway.

In the 73rd minute, Timbers2 broke forward quickly, with Daniel Cervantes poking it in to put the visitors ahead 1-0.
