Apr 12, 2025; Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN; Vancouver Whitecaps FC forward Brian White (24) runs down the pitch during the second half against Austin FC at BC Place. Mandatory Credit: Anne-Marie Sorvin-Imagn Images The Vancouver Whitecaps will shoot for a season sweep of host Austin FC and look to extend their unbeaten streak when the sides square off on Saturday.
The teams met on April 12 in Vancouver, with the Whitecaps shellacking Austin 5-1.
The Whitecaps (8-1-3, 27 points) continue to top the Western Conference standings and head to the capital of Texas on the heels of a 2-2 home draw with Los Angeles FC on Sunday.
After LAFC scored two early goals, Vancouver’s Brian White responded in the 26th and 70th minutes, his second multi-goal contest of the campaign.
Vancouver is unbeaten in seven MLS matches (4-0-3) dating back to a 3-1 home loss to the Chicago Fire on March 22. The Whitecaps’ never-say-die attitude was on ready display in the comeback win vs. LAFC.
“It shows the turning of what we were in the past,” White said. “At times we would have been really happy to come out with a point. Now we’re a little frustrated that we let in two not great goals. We have to continue to learn from these mistakes we made and hopefully continue to improve and do better.”
With eight goals, White is in a three-way tie for third in MLS.
Austin FC (5-6-2, 17 points) will have less rest than Vancouver entering the match, as they posted a 1-1 draw against visiting Atlanta United on Wednesday. The result snapped the Verde’s three-game losing streak.
Brandon Vasquez’s free-kick goal in the 55th minute staked Austin to the lead, but the Verde could not hold on, conceding in second-half stoppage time.
“We just need to be more cohesive,” Austin FC defender Jon Gallagher said of the late equalizer. “We needed to be more compact. It ultimately could have been stopped.”
Vasquez leads the Verde with four goals; no other Austin player has found the net more than once.
It won’t take a lot to get the Verde’s attention for Saturday.
“We know what happened in Vancouver, and a lot of us still have a really sour taste about what happened there,” Austin FC goalkeeper Brad Stuver said, “so we want to make sure that we’re ready.”

‘We’re not done:’ After blitzing Boston in Game 6, it’s time to ask — why not the Knicks?
NEW YORK — Head coach Tom Thibodeau made his expectations clear back in September. Yes, the Knicks had just won 50 games, finished with the second seed in the East and made it to the second round of the playoffs. But that was last year.This year’s Knicks would need to integrate new pieces — would need to develop new habits, forge new bonds. You don’t just respawn at the same point you ended at last year; if you want to get to the promised land, you can’t skip any steps.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“It's a long grind, and you prepare for that, and I would think that you begin with the end in mind,” Thibodeau said at Knicks media day. “What’s it going to take at the end for us?”It’s tempting to say that it’s going to take exactly what they got on Friday […]
What did Paige Bueckers reveal in her WNBA rookie debut?
DALLAS — Napheesa Collier texted Paige Bueckers Friday morning. From one UConn champion to another, Collier wished the rookie well. “Good luck tonight!” Collier wrote. “Don’t do too much against us, wait till your next game.”Waiting isn’t in Bueckers’ DNA. As someone who has suffered through major injuries and been forced to sit out a full season of her college career, she never takes a single game for granted. And the ultimate respect she could give a fellow Huskies alumna was competing her hardest and trying to bring the best out of Collier.AdvertisementCollier, in her seventh season, brought her A-game. Bueckers, in her first WNBA contest, still has room to grow to reach that level, finishing with 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting. But the rookie was happy to finally get an important milestone out of the way in Dallas’ 99-84 […]
Phillies pay tribute to ‘POOP’ scoreboard before a wild win over Pirates
<!--> The beginning of Major League Baseball's Rivalry Weekend series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates was also an ending of sorts. Before the season, NBC Sports Philadelphia announced it was changing the Phillies' logo on its scorebug from the letter "P" to "PHI."Normally, that would not be a story worthy of headlines. But by doing so, the broadcast deprived fans of a simple pleasure in life: seeing a "P00P" scoreboard whenever the Phillies faced off against the Pirates. On Friday night, the network decided to pay tribute to that "gone but never forgotten" scorebug. "It was more than just a scoreboard. It was a legend," Phillies announcer Tom McCarthy solemnly read. "An unforgettable icon. Its name, once met with chuckles, quickly became synonymous with good times and fierce rivalries. As the final out arrives on its bright and brilliant run, […]
A crise da CBF em atos: entenda a novela de 8 anos que levou ao afastamento de Ednaldo Rodrigues
Ex-zagueiro e capitão da seleção brasileira: Lúcio é internado em Brasília após sofrer queimadurasPodcast Toca e passa: Diego Ribas admite que influenciava companheiros negativamente quando ia para o banco, mas destaca mudança no Flamengo Embora a decisão tenha sido motivada por indícios de fraude num documento, o afastamento de Ednaldo é parte de longa novela de quase oito anos que hoje é difícil de ser vista em toda a sua dimensão. Por isso, para compreender a queda do cartola é preciso voltar no tempo. O começo de tudo Em março de 2017, a CBF, então presidida por Marco Polo Del Nero, alterou suas regras eleitorais numa assembleia da qual só participaram as federações estaduais. A medida levou o Ministério Público do Rio (MPRJ) a entrar com ação para anular as decisões e afastar a cúpula da entidade. Antes que o […]
