Posted April 23, 2016 7:00 am
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Jordan Harvey and Kekuta Manneh scored for Vancouver and FC Dallas had an own-goal in the Whitecaps' 3-0 victory Saturday night.
Shut out in three straight games, Vancouver (3-4-1) took the lead in 35th minute when Manneh whipped a cross in that Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz punched into his own net off defender Maynor Figueroa.
Harvey made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute off a Cristian Techera's corner after the ball fell to him in the Dallas penalty area. Manneh sealed it in the 77th when Blas Perez - just into the match as a sub against his former team - touched the ball to Manneh for a shot through Seitz's legs.
MLS-leading Dallas (5-2-2) had a six-game unbeaten streak.
