CARSON, Calif.
John Wall Jersey . -- The Vancouver Whitecaps hoped to earn three points against a shorthanded Chivas USA squad on Sunday
night. If it wasnt for a late goal from Kekuta Manneh, the Whitecaps would have
left California empty-handed. Despite playing with a one-man advantage for 77
minutes, Vancouver needed Mannehs goal in the 81st minute, to forge a 1-1 tie
with Chivas USA, and salvage a point in front of 6,684 at StubHub Center.
Vancouver (1-0-1) played its first road game after opening the season Mar. 8
with a 4-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls at B.C. Place. "There are a lot
of disappointed people in this locker room, including myself," said defender Jay
DeMerit, the Whitecaps captain. "Any time you go one man up on the road, its a
great opportunity to pick up three points." Chivas USA (1-0-1) had to play with
10 men after midfielder Agustin Pelletieri received a red card in the 13th
minute for tripping Pedro Morales at the midfield stripe. Erick Torres put
Chivas USA ahead in the 45th minute. Mauro Rosales dispossessed Nigel Reo-Coker
at midfield and passed to Torres, whose 23-yard shot deflected off DeMerits
right thigh and inside the left post. "I think we took our foot off the gas and
thought it might be easy playing against 10," Vancouver coach Carl Robinson
said. "We werent working at 100 per cent. It was important that we kept a calm
head in the second half and attacked." Manneh, who replaced Reo-Coker in the
60th minute, used his right instep to deflect Darren Mattocks cross from the
left side of the penalty area into the net from 13 yards. "He had a big effect
on the game," Robinson said of Manneh, a 19-year-old forward from Gambia. "Hes
bright, hes direct and hes pacy." Goalkeeper David Ousted kept Chivas USA from
scoring in the 85th minute. Ousted leaped to his right to catch Matthew Fondys
8-yard header off Rosales corner kick. Vancouvers offence did not take a shot
until the 61st minute and did not have a shot on goal until the 70th. Against
New York, the Whitecaps amassed 14 shots, 10 on goal. "Its a good learning
experience for us," DeMerit said. "We knew we came out flat. We didnt really get
at them, as far as trying to create. The mentality on the road needs a bit more
energy than we gave."
