Mathías Laborda

It's kind of weird because he checks his shoulder.

He sees Laborda coming.

And Laborda still picked his pocket.

and then Laboda, the center back, who he's phenomenal to be quite honest, but he gets forward, the center back gets clear all the way to the top of the box, and then he's the one that finishes that play.

That's inexcusable.

But then Vancouver scores after a very nice play.

Kosarianzi fails to cover Laborda on the back post.

He's not offside.

It's a great header.

Once again.

ball goes in cushion header and it's an easy turn by Zvekovich just gets past the Sounders midfield sounds a little like chasing a few shadows right now need to maybe get into the locker room at halftime two and a half minutes to go of the 45 whatever the referee will add on maybe a VAR check will add a minute or so but no real injuries to speak of here comes Johnson has the ball in this near side left channel Diaby moving from this right side to this near side Vancouver's left as the ball goes into Jovalic, easy step by Laborda.

Vancouver on the front foot once again, Diaby has it, dead center, 30 yards from goal, rolls it out to Ocampo, far side right, keeps it going towards goal, score of the second goal as he whips it in towards the back sink, headed by Laborda.

And that's a third goal.

You'd have to think that's game, set, match already before the half-time break.

He stayed up the field.

Gould received the ball on the right-hand side, came off towards his preferred left foot, had all the time in the world to pick up a cross.

And he found Laborda on the back stick.

And, I mean, Leraz had a shot in the second half, but, I mean, there wasn't really much to it.

Laborda had a chance to kind of salvage a point late on, but it was a 1-0 win for Colorado in the end, and that left the Whitecaps lead at the top of the West one point.

over Dallas, four points over St. Louis, and you're like, yikes.

With the games to come, the form that they're in, I was genuinely very concerned.

And Goldie as well, he could have tried to go to the outside, hit the byline, get the cross in.

But instead, it's a delicate little cut inside.

Gets to Laborda.

And again, Laborda could have gone for goal.

Right.

So we'll see, but this is great because you'll remember last year, quite famously, uh, they had that loss with the red card to Laborda in the final regulation or final match of the regular season.

That meant they didn't get home field against San Diego in the Western final, and they didn't get home field in MLS Cup against Inter Miami.

So they've got those things going for them now.
