Vancouver was swept in its best-of-three playoff series with reigning Major League Soccer champion Los Angeles FC after a 1-0 loss Sunday at B.C. Place. It was the second time in three seasons that the Whitecaps were eliminated in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs.
"I'm sorry, there was no malicious intent," Sartini said on Tuesday."I could've done much better and I'm sorry for that." He pointed out the relatively young age of Vancouver's squad and coaching staff when commenting on their behaviour.The Whitecaps may have ended their season with frustration and sharp words for the referee, but players and staff say they're already looking ahead to next year.
Sartini said the team can improve in two areas: conceding fewer goals and being more unpredictable and dynamic in attacking play. The team was led on offence by the tandem of midfielder Ryan Gauld and striker Brian White, who had a combined 26 goals — more than the rest of the team put together — and 17 assists.
Ahmed made 16 starts and 28 appearances across all competitions for Vancouver, scoring three goals and adding two assists.
