In all competitions combined, the British Columbia club were undefeated in their last four games.
However, the duel had started well for the Whitecaps, who were moving the ropes from the second minute. In his first Major League Soccer (MLS) start this season, Tosaint Ricketts put in a great shot at the ground rat.
However, the celebrations were short-lived for visitors. In fact, Andre Shinyashiki equalized just six minutes after the 34-year-old Canadian scored.
Daniel Armando Rios gave Charlotte FC the win in the 85th minute, three minutes after he came on. It was the Mexican’s first goal of 2022.
NYCFC silences the fire
At Citi Field, New York City FC (NYCFC) limited the Chicago Fire to one shot on goal and won 1-0.
The only goal of this duel came on the 23rd and on a penalty shot. Striker Héber Araujo dos Santos was the author of this net. It was his second win in 10 games so far this season.
In the net for the winners, Sean Johnson took the opportunity to sign his seventh shutout of the campaign.
