May 3, 2025; Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN; Vancouver Whitecaps FC midfielder Jean-Claude Ngando (26) reaches for the ball against Real Salt Lake midfielder Braian Ojeda (6) during the first half at BC Place. Mandatory Credit: Simon Fearn-Imagn Images Despite missing key attacker Brian White (hamstring injury), the Vancouver Whitecaps defeated Real Salt Lake 2-1 to run their unbeaten streak to six matches.
Jayden Nelson and Tristan Blackmon provided the goals for Vancouver (8-1-2, 26 points). Salt Lake (4-7-0, 12 points) has lost three of its last four matches. Its goal came on a penalty kick by Diego Luna.
Vancouver opened the scoring in the 20th minute.
Nelson broke free of one of Vancouver’s many counter-attacks, evaded numerous Salt Lake defenders and found himself with a moderately open look 12 yards from the goal. He stabbed his shot just past the outstretched arms of RSL keeper Rafael Cabral.
The Whitecaps doubled their lead in the 70th minute thanks to defender Blackmon.
Sebastian Berhalter found himself open on the right wing, and his out-swinging effort found Blackmon in the center of the box. With just one touch and a fraction of a second, Blackmon fired his shot into the top right corner of the box for his second goal of the season.
Salt Lake earned a late penalty when Berhalter brought down Justen Glad off a free kick. Attacker Luna chipped his penalty down the middle to give Salt Lake its only goal of the game. It came six minutes into second-half stoppage time.
Salt Lake was denied on a controversial penalty decision eight minutes into second-half stoppage time. Attacker Zavier Gozo attempted to dribble into Vancouver’s congested penalty box but was tripped up and brought down in the box. However, an extensive VAR check ruled there was no tripping offense during the play.
Vancouver was active in every phase of the game. The Whitecaps pressed and defended aggressively, held possession 56 percent to 44 percent and created most of the game’s chances. They played without White, who leads the team with six goals.
Vancouver was awarded a penalty in the 66th minute after Cabral dived into Edier Ocampo’s feet in the penalty box. However, Cabral made the stop on Daniel Rios’ rocket shot. Cabral had five saves.
After Cabral dived into Edier Ocampo’s feet in the penalty box, Vancouver was awarded a penalty midway through the second half. However, Daniel Rios’ rocketed effort was impressively stopped by Cabral, who finished with seven saves.
Vancouver came close to a third goal, but Pedro Vite’s curling, outside-the-box effort flew just wide of the crossbar in the 73rd minute.

Blues’ Jordan Binnington, built for big moments, is ‘locked in’ for Game 7
WINNIPEG — It’s hard to believe, but it’s been six years since St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington, a rookie in 2019, was asked how nervous he was facing the Winnipeg Jets in his first NHL playoff series.“Do I look nervous?” Binnington famously asked.He further answered the question with his performance, a playoff run that began in Winnipeg and ended in Boston with the franchise’s first Stanley Cup.Advertisement“I remember when he first came in, how locked in he was,” Blues defenseman Colton Parayko said. “When you need him the most, he’s always there.”“He instills confidence in your team,” Blues captain Brayden Schenn said. “Looking back, his whole career, that’s the motto he’s had, right? He shows up in big moments.”So when the Blues beat the Jets 5-2 in Game 6 of their Western Conference playoff series Friday night, the attention immediately […]
Mirtle: Can Maple Leafs beat Panthers? 5 keys to victory for Toronto
So, the Toronto Maple Leafs are big underdogs in Round 2. I don’t think many outside of the biggest blue and white die-hards are disputing that, and certainly the oddsmakers aren’t, given Toronto’s struggles facing the Florida Panthers in recent years.What’s interesting is this is the first series the Leafs have been this big of an underdog, according to historical odds, since the first round in 2017 when they had seven rookies in the lineup — including baby-faced Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander — against the Washington Capitals.AdvertisementMany betting sites are giving the Leafs around only a 40 percent chance of moving on. (Our probabilities have it higher, at 46 percent.)Toronto was considered a fairly heavy favorite in five of its previous seven playoff series — including Round 1 this season against the Ottawa Senators, both rounds in […]
