Whitecaps Edge Past San Diego in a Goal‑Fest
Vancouver Whitecaps secured a 4‑2 victory over San Diego FC on the road, extending their unbeaten streak to three wins away from home and reinforcing their confidence in the Western Conference.
Brian White was the offensive engine, netting two goals and providing two assists. His second goal came early in the first half, marking his 10th goal of the season and putting Vancouver ahead.
German midfielder Thomas Müller, in just his 19th league appearance for the club, orchestrated the attack with three assists, a contribution that underscores his rapid impact since arriving in MLS.
The scoring opened with David Vazquez finding the net for San Diego, but Vancouver answered quickly as Bruno Caicedo struck his second goal of the campaign after coming off the bench, and Ralph Priso opened his account in four seasons with a well‑placed finish.
Anders Dreyer provided the creative spark, delivering assists on both of San Diego’s goals, while Bryan Zamblé capped the match with a stoppage‑time strike that pulled one back for the visitors.
Vancouver’s Isaac Boehmer made his season debut, adding fresh legs to the midfield, and San Diego’s goalkeeper CJ Dos Santos kept his side in the game with seven saves in his second start of the season.
The win lifts the Whitecaps to a 3‑1‑2 record on the road and improves their overall standing, while San Diego drops to 3‑3‑3 at home, highlighting the competitive nature of the Western Conference.
