White scores 100th MLS goal as Whitecaps beat San Diego 4-1 to strengthen hold
on 1st place
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- Brian White scored his 100th MLS goal,
Ryan Gauld had a goal and an assist, and the Vancouver Whitecaps beat San Diego
4-1 on Wednesday night.
Vancouver (17-8-7) extended its lead in the Western Conference to four points
over second-place Dallas, which lost to Columbus earlier.
San Diego (8-13-11), which was eliminated from playoff contention, had its
winless streak stretched to 10 games (0-5-5).
Aleksa Cvetkovic, in just his fourth start since joining the Whitecaps in
August, scored his first MLS goal in the 24th minute on a redirection of
Mathias Laborda's pass across the goal. White headed in a curling pass by
Oliver Larraz in the 41st for his 18th MLS goal this season.
The 30-year-old White has 98 goals across all competitions since joining the
Whitecaps in 2021. White became the 17th player in MLS history to score 100
goals.
Gauld scored on a diving header in the 66th for Vancouver's 67th goal --- the
most the Caps have scored during a MLS regular season. Bruno Caicedo beat
goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega in the 76th on a two-on-one breakaway for a 4-0 lead.
Onni Valakari put San Diego on the board in the 83rd with a header.
