Last-minute Montero goal seals 2-1 win for Vancouver Whitecaps
VANCOUVER — Their dreams of the playoffs may be dashed but coach Marc Dos Santos says there’s still a lot on the line for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Before hosting the Houston Dynamo (10-16-4) this week, Dos Santos said he talked to his squad about needing to get a result for their teammates and for the fans who’ve persevered through a dismal season.
The ‘Caps (7-15-9) responded to the call with a gutsy 2-1 victory over the Dynamo on Saturday.
“We have a lot to play for,” Dos Santos said after the win. “And what I like is that even with a team that’s already eliminated from playoffs, you didn’t feel that on the field that there’s guys on the field giving up and not trying. So that’s the right mentality to have.”
