In a thrilling battle on the road the Yakima Reds won their second road game of the season 1-0 over the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency.
Claudio Lazar protected the lead stopping a penalty kick in the 86th minute of play, while Abdul Wali Aman scored his third goal in four matches, catching the rebound from another masterful Anderson Prestes free kick early in the second half to score the match’s only goal.
The Reds sit at 2-2 in their four-game road trip so far and have yielded one goal in the 270 minutes of play since a long team talk followed an ugly defeat at Tacoma last Friday.
Next up for the Reds is their last Canada game, against Victoria Saturday. Then, they return Stateside for a game in Vancouver, Wash., against the Portland Timbers June 12.
The win improves the Reds’ record to 2-5. The Whitecaps Residency dropped to 0-2-1.
The last time the Reds won on the road was last week at Seattle-based Washington Crossfire. Prior to that, it was in 2008.
