Older brother Massud Habibullah scored both goals in a 2-0 win for the ‘Caps.
“We had an excellent first half, we pressed well, we were dominant and looked strong,” head coach Adam Day told whitecapsfc.com. “The second half was more even, but what was pleasing was our reaction to defend key moments better under pressure. It was important to build our confidence.”
