White’s Brace Sends Whitecaps Past Rapids 3-1 in Last Home Match Until August

The result sends Vancouver into a long road stretch during BC Place’s World Cup conversion.

Overview

  • Vancouver beat Colorado 3-1 at BC Place on Saturday, with Brian White scoring twice after Cheikh Sabaly’s seventh-minute opener.
  • A video review confirmed Rafael Navarro’s first-half goal after a handball check, and a 77th-minute Bruno Caicedo finish was ruled out for handball.
  • The win moved the Whitecaps to 8-1-0 with a fourth straight victory, as they outshot the Rapids 20-13 and generated more shots on target.
  • Supporters staged a large "Save the Caps" push with a march and more than 2,000 signs in the stadium, reflecting concern over a possible sale and relocation.
  • BC Place now shifts to hosting duties for seven World Cup games, so Vancouver begins a prolonged run of away fixtures before returning home in August.
