Vancouver Whitecaps 2-0 Colorado Rapids

VANCOUVER, BC–Vancouver Whitecaps kept top spot in the Western Conference with a 2-0 win over Colorado Rapids and stay two points clear of San Diego. Both goals came in the first half for the Whitecaps, the first in the 19th minute.

Tate Johnson sent a diagonal ball towards Sebastian Berhalter who then redirected to the feet of Brian White. White did not get all of the shot, but got enough to get it past Zack Steffen. In the 38th minute, Ali Ahmed’s thru-ball found Emmanuel Sabbi for his first goal in MLS and to double Vancouver’s advantage.

Colorado would fail to get a single shot on target all match to the Whitecaps’ five. The Whitecaps would have a third goal disallowed for offside in the 48th minute.
