Then after falling behind Real Salt Lake 2-0 last Saturday, Nicolas Mezquida and Sebastian Fernandez scored in the 86th and 94th minute, respectively, to rescue the second consecutive comeback point for the Whitecaps. After earning points in their first four games of the season, including two wins, the Whitecaps dropped two in a row before the draws. They currently hold a 2-2-4 overall record.
