Mouse Halts Vancouver Whitecaps' 5-1 MLS Victory Over Austin

In a memorable MLS match at BC Place, Vancouver Whitecaps striker Brian White scored four goals in a 5-1 victory over Austin FC, although the game was briefly interrupted by a mouse that scurried onto the field just seven minutes in. The referee paused the match as Austin prepared for a corner kick, allowing goalkeeper Brad Stuver to step in as a makeshift pest controller, gently removing the mouse while earning applause from the crowd. Despite the disruption, the Whitecaps maintained their dominance, solidifying their position at the top of the Western Conference with 19 points from eight games. Additionally, the team has advanced to the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup, where they will face Lionel Messi's Inter Miami on April 30. This incident added a lighthearted moment to an otherwise impressive performance by Vancouver, as they continue their strong start to the season.
