VANCOUVER, BC–The Vancouver Whitecaps moved back above the playoff line while Minnesota United was dropped back below it after the former defeated the latter, 2-1, at BC Place. Brian White was the Man of the Match as his initial shot before halftime was saved by Tyler Miller, but knocked in for an own goal by Michael Boxall. White then got a goal of his own in the 63rd minute following service from Ryan Gauld.
Fanendo Adi scored a consolation goal for the Loons, but it was not enough as they are now behind Real Salt Lake based on wins for the seventh and final playoff spot in the West. The Whitecaps are two points above that fray in fifth at present.
