Playing in their first-ever match in Major League Soccer (MLS), Vancouver Whitecaps FC defeated Canadian arch-rivals Toronto FC 4-2 in the first-ever meeting between two Canadian MLS clubs on the pitch at Empire Field on Saturday afternoon. Designated Player Eric Hassli endeared himself to his new fans with two goals for the Blue and White, while Vancouver native Terry Dunfield and Expansion Draft pick Atiba Harris also found the scoresheet on an historic day for the "Caps". Dwayne De Rosario and Brazilian striker Maicon Santos replied for Toronto FC, but it was not enough to ruin Vancouver's special moment on the grounds in East Vancouver.
Nancy and I watched the end of the second half on the web, but next stop is to get to see a game live, especially as Cap fever is about to start in the city. Now with their first match under their belts, Whitecaps look ahead to their first-ever away match in MLS, as they visit Eastern Conference side Philadelphia Union next Saturday.
