VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- Brian White scored two goals for the
second consecutive game, Sebastian Berhalter opened the scoring with a penalty
kick in the eighth minute and added two assists, and the Vancouver Whitecaps
beat Minnesota United 6-0 on Sunday.
The Whitecaps (4-0-0) have a plus-13 goal differential and are off to the best
four-game start in club history.
Mathias Laborda added a goal in the 22nd minute, Emmanuel Sabbi scored in the
43rd gave the Whitecaps a 4-0 lead at halftime and Cheikh Sabaly's first MLS
goal in his second career appearance capped the scoring in the 74th. Yohei
Takaoka finished with four saves and had his third shutout of the season.
Minnesota (1-2-1) tied the club's single-game mark for goals conceded and set
the record for largest margin of defeat.
White scored a goal in his third consecutive game in the 13th minute that made
it 2-0 and converted from the penalty spot in the 54th to give Vancouver a
five-goal lead. White has 84 goals and 16 assists for the Whitecaps across all
competitions, the first player in the club's MLS era with at least 100 goal
contributions.
Sebastian Schonlau made his MLS debut when he subbed on for Edier Ocampo in the
65th minute.
Drake Callender stopped two shots for Minnesota.
