Whitecaps had suffered a loss at the hands of Seattle 2 days before Sunday's game. Head coach Jesper Sorensen, was asked after the match, if this was the kind of bounce back performance he was looking for from Thursday. Sorensen said, “Yes, of course. It was more than we even hoped for. But we would like to come back strong and bounce back from what we thought was a disappointment (against Seattle). I think that we really came out strong. Even though it was only two-and-a-half days since we played last game, I think the players looked fresh and looked really eager to come out here and push the pace, and play with great quality I have to say. It was a great game obviously, and we’re very happy.”
