Hurtado looks to redeem himself for missing net as Whitecaps visit Crew
VANCOUVER — Erik Hurtado is done thinking about his missed opportunities.
The Vancouver striker is ready to redeem himself for missing the net on seven shots in the last game as the Whitecaps (8-13-7) visit the Columbus Crew (5-10-10) on Saturday. The Caps need a win to keep their fading Major League Soccer playoff hopes alive.
“I thought about it a bunch the first 24 hours, and then I started to realize that sulking on it isn’t going to change it,” said Hurtado.
Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson described Hurtado as “distraught” and “in tears” after the home loss to the Red Bulls. Now, Hurtado hopes to build on the chances he had.
