Vancouver's strong Whitecaps team challenges struggling LAFC

LAFC will face a formidable Vancouver Whitecaps team on Sunday, as the Whitecaps are enjoying a strong season under their new coach. Vancouver's success marks a shift in the rivalry. Vancouver, led by coach Jesper Sørensen, has lost only twice in 19 matches this year, and currently tops the MLS standings. The Whitecaps have also qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup final. LAFC, which has struggled recently, will be without new player Ryan Raposo, who is still sorting out his visa. The match is a Sunday Night Soccer showdown at BC Place.
