VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Mathias Laborda and Brian White each scored a goal on Saturday, Yohei Takaoka had his fourth shutout of the season, and the Vancouver Whitecaps beat New York City FC 2-0.
The Whitecaps (6-1-0) are off to their best start in club history (MLS era).
Matt Freese had eight saves for NYCFC (3-2-2).
Laborda opened the scoring in the 45th minute. Sebastian Berhalter played an arcing free kick to the center of the area and Laborda put away a leaping volley.
Berhalter leads the team with nine goal contributions (four goals, five assists) this season.
White flicked home a diving header, off an entry pass played by Bruno Caicedo, to cap the scoring in the 87th minute.
The Whitecaps outshot NYCFC 23-12, 10-2 on target.
The teams played for the first time since a 1-1 tie on Sept. 2, 2023.
Vancouver went into the game leading MLS in goals scored with 17, while New York City (14) was tied with Dallas for second.
