Vancouver’s win over Toronto FC on Saturday night added to the Whitecaps’ streak, they have lost just one of their last 10 outings in all competitions
Goals by Tristan Blackmon and Brian White lifted Vancouver to a 2-1 comeback win over Toronto FC on Saturday night as the Whitecaps continued their successful road trip.
One of those rare victories came last time out, a 3-1 decision over visiting Philadelphia that snapped a 10-game losing streak. The three goals scored in the victory over the Union matched Toronto’s total in the 10 previous losses.After an even, entertaining first half, Deandre Kerr put Toronto ahead in the 50th minute on a rapid-fire counterattack. Fullback Raoul Petretta found Lorenzo Insigne near halfway and the Italian put Kerr behind the defence with a perfectly weighted pass.
It was White’s 11th goal of the season — and his third in four games — and Gauld’s ninth assist. Gauld, a Scottish attacker who is one of the Whitecaps designated players, has 11 goals and 10 assists in his last 16 games in all competitions. Saturday’s game marked the return of former Toronto wingback Richie Laryea, who may well next season take over the DP slot vacated by recently departed Venezuelan forward Sergio Cordova. Laryea left to applause from the BMO Field announced crowd of 26,156 when he was substituted in stoppage time.Adekugbe did not make the trip in what appears to be a load-management move, while Hoilett, whose acquisition was announced Thursday, was only due to meet up with the team in Toronto.
But Toronto found its way into the game and forced back-to-back saves from Takaoka in the 25th minute with Kobe Franklin and Insigne, off a cheeky backheel from Bernardeschi, finding the target.
