Vancouver Whitecaps Extend Unbeaten MLS Streak to Seven with Late Brian White Goal Against Portland Timbers

The Vancouver Whitecaps extended their unbeaten streak to seven games with a 1-1 draw against the Portland Timbers, highlighted by Brian White's 88th-minute goal, his 15th of the MLS season. Whitecaps goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka's streak of clean sheets ended at 325 minutes after Kamal Miller scored a long-range goal for Portland in the first half. Vancouver remains second in the MLS Western Conference with 56 points, just one point behind San Diego, while Portland is seventh with 43 points. Thomas Müller, the former Bayern Munich star who joined Vancouver in August, missed his second consecutive match due to an adductor injury despite scoring four goals in three games earlier. Portland dominated early with numerous shots on goal, but Takaoka made several key saves to keep the game close. Vancouver has already set a new team record for points in a season, surpassing the 2015 mark, and continues to perform strongly with a record of 5-0-3 in their last eight matches across competitions.
