When it comes to the foul, I think there was contact but he certainly made a meal of it.  He appeared to be savvy, snagging a lovely goal inside the first ten minutes. It&#8217;s easy to do that against an inexperienced defense, but it&#8217;s nice to see him get results. It&#8217;s also good that Tommy Heinemann got a goal; I haven&#8217;t really liked what I&#8217;ve seen of him ever since a brief moment of insanity that got him sent off against UBC, and perhaps this will pick up his spirits.<\/p>\n<p>The Whitecaps have been criticized for their focus on this competition, the thinking being that it might distract from their league play. This result proves that you can&#8217;t sleepwalk through the Cup, but the &#8216;Caps suffered up until the 83rd minute. Oh well. At least it&#8217;s a road win.<\/p>\n<p>Stats after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Goals<\/h2>\n<p>5&#8242; &#8211; <strong>VAN <\/strong>&#8211; Camilo Sanvezzo<br \/>\n8&#8242; &#8211; <strong>EDM <\/strong>&#8211; Michael Cox<br \/>\n28&#8242; &#8211; <strong>EDM <\/strong>&#8211; Chris Nurse (Lance Laing)<br \/>\n83&#8242; &#8211; <strong>VAN <\/strong>&#8211; Camilo Sanvezzo (PK)<br \/>\n89&#8242; &#8211; <strong>VAN <\/strong>&#8211; Tom Heinemann<\/p>\n<h2>Cards<\/h2>\n<p>33\u2019 \u2013 <strong>EDM <\/strong>\u2013 Yellow &#8211; Mallan Roberts<br \/>\n36\u2019 &#8211; <strong>VAN <\/strong>\u2013 Yellow &#8211; Russell Teibert<br \/>\n78\u2019 &#8211; <strong>VAN <\/strong>\u2013 Yellow &#8211; Camilo Sanvezzo<br \/>\n87&#8242; &#8211; <strong>EDM <\/strong>&#8211; Red &#8211; Colin Miller (manager)<br \/>\n88\u2019 \u2013 <strong>EDM <\/strong>\u2013 Yellow &#8211; Neil Hlavaty<\/p>\n<h2>Numbers<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shots:<\/strong> Edmonton 9 &#8211; Vancouver 14<br \/>\n<strong>Shots on Goal:<\/strong> Edmonton 5 &#8211; Vancouver 8<br \/>\n<strong>Fouls:<\/strong> Edmonton 15 &#8211; Vancouver 11<br \/>\n<strong>Offsides:<\/strong> Edmonton 3 &#8211; Vancouver 3<br \/>\n<strong>Corners:<\/strong> Edmonton 3 &#8211; Vancouver 12<br \/>\n<strong>Possession:<\/strong> Edmonton 33.5% &#8211; Vancouver 66.5%<\/p>\n<h2>Lineups<\/h2>\n<p><strong>FC Edmonton:<\/strong> Lance Parker; Eddie Edward, Mallan Roberts, Adrian Leroy, Lance Laing; Chris Nurse, Neil Hlavaty, Robert Garrett (Edem Mortotsi 59&#8242;), Daryl Fordyce, Shaun Saiko; Michael Cox (Sadi Jalali 85&#8242;)<br \/>\n<em>Unused Subs:<\/em> John Smits, Antonio Rago, Massimo Mirabelli, Hanson Boakai, Michael Nonni<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vancouver Whitecaps FC:<\/strong> Brad Knighton; Greg Klazura, Andy O&#8217;Brien, Johnny Leveron, Jordan Harvey; Nigel Reo-Coker, Gershon Koffie, Russell Teibert; Daigo Kobayashi (Tom Heinemann 66&#8242;), Darren Mattocks, Camilo Sanvezzo<br \/>\n<em>Unused Subs:<\/em> Simon Thomas, Brad Rusin, Erik Hurtado, Jun Marques Davidson, Kekuta Manneh, Caleb Clarke<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vancouver Whitecaps beat FC Edmonton 3-2 last night in the first leg of their Voyageurs Cup semifinal.
