Vancouver Rise start pre-season with raised expectations While last year’s playoff triumph remains fresh in the minds of the Vancouver Rise, both players and coaches recognize that the expectations of this season have been ramped up.

#VanRiseFC are in pre-season and gearing up to defend their NSL title.

I checked out training today and spoke with head coach Anja Heiner-Møller and players Mariah Lee and Sura Yekka.

A professional job from #VWFC as they defeat Toronto FC by a score of 3-0.

Story by @joshuarey.bsky.social

Through 4 matches in all competitions, #VWFC have only 4 SOT against. That’s a shot on target against per game, just one.

There’s clubs that don’t average a goal against per game.

FT Thoughts:
- For as good as #VWFC were, TFC were poor
- TFC has defensive issues
- Badwal looked good, but he does affect the game more from the midfield
- Ngando looked good as a sub
- Sign Berhalter to an extension!
- 4 clean sheets to start 2026

86' - SUB - Larraz is #VWFC 's final sub. Berhalter is off.

83' - SUB - Elloumi is on. White is off.

#VWFC

76' - Nando thought he had one after White had a couple of whacks at it, but it's ruled offside.

#VWFC

74' - Takaoka's first save of the match is a great instinctive one.

#VWFC

70' - SUBS - Ngando, Johnson and Sabaly are coming on. This is Sabaly's #VWFC debut.

Müller, Ocampo and AZ are off.

66' - 🟨 - Ocampo.

#VWFC

62' - Big collision between White and Gavran. Both hit the ball, just on opposite sides.

White scores in bunches. Here's to him opening the floodgates!

He's looked good this half. Much more involved, which he needs. He was on an island for much of the first 3 games.

HT Thoughts:
- Müller has 11g in 17 appearances. Money well spent
- I'm sold on AZ
- Midfield excellent in breaking up TFC's attack. TFC has 0 shots, mainly because they've spent so little time in #VWFC's defensive third
- White looking better
- No weak elements in that half

45+2' - GOAL - White gets his first of the season to cap off an excellent 3-goal half for #VWFC!

37' - GOAL - Müller grabs a first-half brace with a foot on a well-taken corner.

#VWFC

36' - It's nice to see Whire more involved so far throughout this match. Feels like a matter of time before he gets his first of many this season.

#VWFC

25' - GOAL - Müller sends Gavran the wrong way and gets his first of the season!

#VWFC

24' - PENALTY - Great breakout from #VWFC. Ocampo finds White, who flicks the ball into the path of AZ.

AZ is brought down in the box.

21' - Richie Laryea is back, folks...

#VWFC

Fooled a lot of people!

15' - BC Place thought #VWFC had a goal, but the ball was wide of the net.

12' - White with the first decent chance on goal. Gavran gets down to his left to save it.

#VWFC

Game on!
