By The Associated Press on March 16, 2024.
FRISCO, Texas (AP) – Brian White had a goal and an assist, and the Vancouver Whitecaps scored three goals in the first half and beat Dallas 3-1 on Saturday night. Vancouver (2-0-1) has won two straight Major League Soccer games, while Dallas (1-3-0) has lost three in a row. The Whitecaps opened the scoring in the 25th minute when MathÃas Laborda tapped a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner of the net. White assisted on the goal and then scored on a header about four minutes later. Sebastian Lletget’s header-goal in the 40th minute pulled Dallas within 2-1. About two minutes later, Ryan Raposo played a cross to Fafá Picault, who headed the ball in front of the six-yard box and it bounced past diving goalkeeper Maarten Paes from just inside the left post to make it 3-1. Yohei Takaoka made two saves for Vancouver. The unbeaten Whitecaps will host Salt Lake next Saturday at BC Place Stadium. — AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sport 9-8
