However, Seattle's rookie keepers Carlos Castellanos and Rich Cullen kept the 'Caps off the scoresheet, with the best saves coming from Cullen late in the game as Vancouver mounted a steady attack on the Sounders' goal. In the 81st minute, Cullen stopped Whitecaps striker Chris Craveiros on a breakaway, and then in the 85th minute he saved a penalty kick from star forward Darren Tilley. The penalty had been awarded when Tilley, who had only just arrived in Vancouver on Friday, was taken down in the box by Sounders defender Scott Jenkins Seattle's best chance to score also came late, as a weak shot from Stan Thesenvitz in the 89th minute was cleared off the line by defender Geordie Lyall with Snetchko caught out of position. Whitecaps defender Steve McCauley had to come off in the 37th minute after an elbow to the face opened a bleeding cut. The injury is not serious.
