Vancouver-Atlanta game thread

0-0 at the half, and that's a good scoreline for Los Gorillas. Vancouver had nearly all of the quality chances. McIntosh made one great save to keep the match scoreless, and the Whitecaps scuffed the rest of their chances. Rios had a nice shot from outside, but that was about it for the 'Backs.

Lineup started like: McIntosh, Hayes, Bobo, Jarun, Lancaster, Rios, Buete, McManus, Barrow, Ukah, Millwood

Same lineup to start the second half, and USL Semi-Live craps out again. What an investment!

Just as it appears a fan threw something at him and the ref stopped play, USL Sorta-Live dies again.

Great timing, maybe Vancouver pulled the plug this time...

Sorry, I should've clarified that it was McIntosh who was complaining about being hit with an "international" object.

Vancouver gets on the board first in the 80th minute off a header. It was a long time coming, they had dominated the play up until that point.

Somehow, the Silverbacks came back to score an equalizer. After Rios couldn't get to a loose ball in the box, McManus made a hell of a play to win the ball, cut to the right to create space, and score into the far corner. Awesome effort from T-Mac.

THEN JUST AS ATLANTA IS MAKING THEIR LAST SUB, USL NOT-SO-LIVE DIES AGAIN!!! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!

Well, I don't know what's going on, hopefully it ends in a tie and Atlanta gets fourth place locked up.
