Bruno Caicedo scores 1st MLS goal, Whitecaps beat Sporting KC 3-0 for 3rd
straight win
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- Emmanuel Sabbi had a goal and an assists,
21-year-old Bruno Caicedo scored his first goal in MLS, and the Vancouver
Whitecaps beat Sporting Kansas City 3-0 on Friday night to continue the best
start to a season in club history.
Vancouver (7-1-0) has won three games in a row and leads MLS with 21 points.
The Whitecaps have an MLS-leading 22 goals this season and their plus-18 goal
differential is the best in the league.
Thomas Mller also scored a goal for the Whitecaps. Yohei Takaoka finished with
one save and had his fifth shutout this season.
Sabbi ran onto a loose ball just outside the 6-yard box and his first-touch
shot skipped off the bottom of the crossbar to open the scoring in the 13th
minute.
Sporting KC (1-6-1), which has four three in a row, has four points and a
minus-13 goal differential, both last in the Western Conference.
Caicedo made his first career start (and third appearance) and curled a low
shot from the left side of the area that bounced off the far post in the 23rd
minute and Mller headed home a cross played into the area by Sabbi in the 28th.
John Pulskamp had three saves for Kansas City.
Vancouver outshot Sporting 25-3.
