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.”

Jannik Sinner defeats Tommy Paul to set up Rome final against Carlos Alcaraz
After a couple of weeks in Rome that started with the return of the prodigal son and then took in the election of a new Pope will get a fittingly blockbuster ending: the world’s two best male players facing off for the Italian Open title.Carlos Alcaraz had already kept up his end of the bargain by beating Lorenzo Musetti earlier on Friday, before world No. 1 and home favourite Jannik Sinner overcame a poor start to defeat America’s Tommy Paul 1-6, 6-0, 6-3.

Kyffin Simpson crashes, nearly flips No. 8 car during Fast Friday practice run
<!--> Shortly into the Indy 500 practice run on Fast Friday, INDYCAR driver Kyffin Simpson lost control and crashed his Chip Ganassi Racing Honda into the wall at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.And miraculously, he was able to walk away from the wreckage and give an interview soon after.Though Simpson is safe, the crash was terrifying. His car started to spin on a turn after a wiggle. Then he crashed into the wall and went airborne. As the announcers mentioned upon watching replay of the crash, these INDYCAR rides are designed to keep cars from going airborne to the degree that they flip completely over. Design features, like additional holes made in the floor of the car, seem to have paid off here. The No. 8 car did go airborne and did flip but not completely over. Instead, it landed on its side […]
