Shown red card against Houston
Takaoka made three saves but earned a red card during the 64th minute of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Takaoka was sent off after committing a foul just outside his penalty area, leaving his team at a disadvantage for the rest of the match. He'll miss the next visit to San Diego through suspension, with Isaac Boehmer available to fill the void in the starting lineup. Once he has served his ban, Takaoka should regain his spot for a week 16 clash against Chicago Fire.
Makes one save in 3-2 win
Takaoka made one save and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 3-2 victory versus FC Dallas.
Analysis: Takaoka made one save as he helped his side to a 3-2 win over FC Dallas. He has kept five clean sheets in 12 games so far this year, but hasn't kept one in the last four matches. This was just the second time this year that he has conceded more than one goal.
Two saves in draw
Takaoka made two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Takaoka repelled two of three San Jose shots on goal Saturday and made two clearances as Vancouver earned a 1-1 road draw. Across 11 starting appearances, the veteran keeper has recorded five clean sheets and conceded more than one goal just once. Takaoka will look to continue his strong run of form Wednesday when Vancouver travels to face Dallas.
Makes one save in draw
Takaoka registered one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Takaoka wasn't really tested ande just one or less saves for the fifth time in nine starts. The goalkeeper conceded once and still has five clean sheets over that span. He will now look to keep things rolling at San Jose on Saturday.
Sees one go
Takaoka recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Takaoka only allowed one goal while making three saves to kep the win Saturday. His back line remains dominate as he has only conceded five goals in nine games, making 16 saves while holding onto five clean sheets. The keeper will face off with the Galaxy for the next game on Saturday, who have scored seven goals in the last five contests.
Easy clean sheet
Takaoka registered no saves and allowed zero goals in Friday's 3-0 victory against Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Takaoka didn't face a single shot during Friday's win, as the team in front of him controlled the match so comprehensively that he was left with an easy clean sheet. Few matches will be as easy as this for the goalkeeper, who truly didn't have a single shot to stop.
