Ryan Raposo admits he would have been emotionally lost a few years ago if he made the same mistake that led to the first Charlotte goal of Saturday's home opener for the Vancouver Whitecaps. But now, the defender channelled that frustration into more productive methods: mainly by scoring the tying goal for the Whitecaps in their 1-1 Major League Soccer draw with Charlotte FC at B.C. Place. "I think the elephant in the room, maybe people don't want to ask me about, is their first goal and obviously me giving away the ball," Raposo said after the match.

"I mean, I'm seeing it all over Twitter. Everyone's tweeting at me. It's football, people make mistakes. But yeah, it's something that we've trained 1,000 times over and as soon as the ball went in the first thought was 'I'm gonna see this tomorrow morning on the film or two days on the film.' Raposo went to backheel the ball away, only for Brecht Dejaegere to seize the ball and fire in a cross, with Enzo Copetti dummying the pass to allow Iuri Tavares to score the opener in the 31st minute for Charlotte. "I think maybe a couple of years ago, I think I would have lost my head after that. Like put my head down and … maybe had a rough rest of the game," Raposo said. "But honestly the ball went in and my mindset was like 'It happens. I'm going to continue to dribble at guys, I'm gonna continue to be active in the final third I'm gonna continue to play my game' and yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy with my performance because I did exactly that." The Whitecaps equalized five minutes into first-half stoppage time after a deep cross from Pedro Vite found a wide open Raposo who calmly tucked the ball past a sprawling Kristijan Kahlina."I mean, I think a goal's a goal," Raposo said when asked about the goal and how it was bundled into the back of the net after Kahlina appeared to over dive on the attempted save.
